The French yogurt market is experiencing a boom, with 96% of French households consuming the product, driving intense innovation among major food companies. Danone recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of its Bailleul factory, a significant site for its original nature yogurt. The company's history traces back to Isaac Carasso, who launched the product in Spain after World War I, inspired by Balkan traditions and the work of Nobel laureate Elie Metchnikoff. Initially sold in pharmacies as a digestive aid, yogurt has maintained its health-focused image, a strategy adopted by the entire sector to sustain high sales. This enduring appeal fuels the industry's continuous pursuit of new product development.
