The French Noodle Factory
‘La Compagnie du Riz’ was created in 2003 to import rice from the first organic and fair-trade program in northern Thailand. Over the years, its founder Magali Bryla, a determined woman who has spent her entire career in the food industry, has selected the very best of Asian street food for the European market: great local organic rice, coconut milk, curry pastes, typical soy sauces…
20 years later, ‘La Compagnie du Riz’ created The French Noodle Factory to manufacture authentic gluten-free Asian rice noodles in France, in the heart of the Alps.
In this fast-growing market, the company offers rice noodles of exceptional quality.
Unique know-how
We have developed a processing tool that is unique in Europe, inspired by traditional Asian know-how. We have optimized the manufacturing process, in particular the delicate cooking and drying stages, to get a very high-quality product. Our rice noodles have a delicate flavour and a light texture that are typical of Asian rice noodles!
As in Thailand, organic rice is first ground with water. The resulting paste is spread onto trays, steamed and then slowly dried in several stages. Depending on the type of noodle, the drying process takes between 14 and 18 hours in total. There is no question of rushing this stage: the long drying time is essential to the distinctive texture and flavour of our gluten-free rice noodles.
