In January 2020, Asprocarne Piemonte and France Blonde d’Aquitaine Sélection launched an ongoing partnership thanks to the project Blonde d’Aquitaine: European Beef Excellence.

The three-year programme (2020-March 2024) was co-financed by the European Union and managed by the two organisations with the aim of spreading knowledge about the Blonde d’Aquitaine breed in Italy and France, both countries where the breeding cycle of this magnificent type of cattle is mainly carried out.

During the 36 months of the project, and thanks to a total investment of €1,5 million, Asprocarne Piemonte and France Blonde d’Aquitaine Sélection were able to create a diversified series of promotional activities to highlight some of the characteristics that make the Blonde d’Aquitaine a product of European excellence: quality, traceability, authenticity, sustainability and respect for animals and the environment.

Just to name a few, these actions included the creation of a modern website and social media accounts dedicated to the project, the publication of articles and advertisements in the French and Italian press, as well as the airing of TV commercials in the two target countries, participation in trade fairs and events, and the organisation of training sessions, tastings in points of sales and workshops with the participation of renowned personalities in the catering industry.

The results obtained after these first 36 months have been optimal: the strategic and promotional planning carried out allowed to reach a total of 180 million contacts in Italy and 26 million contacts in France, data demonstrating an unparalleled mass dissemination of the Blonde d’Aquitaine breed.

The collaboration between Asprocarne Piemonte and France Blonde d’Aquitaine Sélection did not end there though: in April 2023 a new three-year project Blonde d’Aquitaine: European Beef Excellence was launched, which will allow the two organisations to consolidate the objectives achieved so far.
