General

Who is behind Pa'lais?

There is no food giant behind Pa’lais. Instead you can find Laurent Jadot, a vegan entrepreneur, and Kevin Storms, a chef specialising in plant-based cuisine, at the helm of Pa’lais. They realised that nobody was making non-dairy alternatives that were not only natural and healthy, but also tasty and creamy. So they rolled up their sleeves and decided to create their own in their food lab. There, they conducted their research to create plant-based alternatives to dairy products with taste and nutritional qualities. After months of experimentation, they decided to make these products available to everyone.

There are several ways in which you can interpret the word Pa’lais, here they are summed up. 1. There is no milk in Pa’lais (“pas de lait” in french) 2. Pa’lais is a delight for the palate (“palais” in french) 3. “Pa’lais is royal”.
