A Gourmet and Educational Experience

What kind of delicacies shape today’s food industry?

To explore this question, international students from Audencia’s MSc Food and Agribusiness Management (FAM) recently visited MIN Nantes Métropole, the second-largest B2B food market in France after Rungis.

During the visit, students discovered and tasted a range of exceptional products, including:

• Organic bananas from Ecuador
• Caviar lemons
• Pepper-coated cashews
• And many more unique specialties

Discovering the art of meat maturation

They also gained insight into advanced meat maturation techniques, learning how beef ribs are aged for up to 8 weeks using a unique process involving Himalayan salt dispersed in the air. The result?
✔ Outstanding texture
✔ Rich, complex flavors
✔ Exceptional quality

This immersive experience gave students a deeper understanding of the challenges of quality, innovation, and sourcing in the B2B agri-food sector—while also offering a truly memorable tasting experience.
