Three complementary strategies
Who I'd love to work with
Innovative startups
Performance nutrition, nootropic bars, functional food for your teams. Your people at their peak of energy and creativity.
Wellness hotels & resorts
The offer your guests are looking for but can't find. Living menus, regenerating breakfasts, gourmet plant-based cuisine — for establishments that want to stand out through excellence.
Spas & Retreats
A menu of regenerative beverages and elixirs: ceremonial raw cacao, phycocyanin, lucuma lattes, restorative teas. Complete expertise to turn a stay into an experience of regeneration.
Ambitious restaurants
Plant-based food that impresses even meat lovers. Gourmet menu, rare sourcing, superfoods integrated with finesse — a proposition that attracts a new, discerning clientele.
Ingredients you won’t find through conventional channels
I work with small, passionate growers and artisan companies — rare fruit, superfoods, Japanese pantry treasures, raw cacao. Every supplier is tasted, tested, personally chosen. A network built over ten years, impossible to find through conventional channels.
Europe’s gourmet fruit
Direct ties to Spanish farms that use no treatments and preserve their varieties: ten kinds of avocado, citrus picked at peak ripeness, exquisite mangoes all summer long.
Superfoods
Raw cacao, spirulina, lucuma, freeze-dried fruit, berries, green teas, nootropic mushrooms and plant proteins — the pillars of high-performance nutrition, at the service of your creations.
Spices & condiments
Rare and wild spices, pure or blended, floral waters, an unpasteurized Japanese pantry — miso and soy sauces, premium seaweeds, ceremonial green teas.
Dried & freeze-dried fruits
A date expert’s selection: fruit dehydrated at low temperature, freeze-dried treasures — preservation that keeps enzymes and active nutrients intact.

Virgile's magical way with food as a path to health and healing taught me how to nurture myself again. He gave me a new appreciation of the power of a respectfully sourced and prepared plate. Six weeks later, back amid the stress of life and deadlines, I am still eating as he showed me because it works: I'm calmer, my brain is clearer, my joints are less sore, my skin is better and I have much more energy. Meeting and learning from Virgile has been transformative.
