Years of innovation and standing out through the quality of its ingredients and excellence, since 1960
A generation of partners taking up the torch and continuing the tradition of good products
A story of passion, time and again
For over 60 years, Beau-Lieu has been offering products that enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes.
Chef-entrepreneur Louis-François Marcotte and his brother Jean-Michel acquired the company precisely with the aim of continuing on this path.
Their ambition? To offer you an expanded range of sauces, condiments, and side dishes, always made in Quebec from quality ingredients, that will add flavor and originality to the recipes you love to cook.
Key moments in our history:
- Founded in 1960, Beaulieu Instantané began with the marketing of the famous sauce that made the iconic Au Coq BBQ of St-Jérôme a success.
- Launch of the BoCoq Gourmet brand and expansion of the product range offered.
- Acquisition of the company in 1984 by Luc Hébert and Chantal Desjardins. They accelerated its growth while maintaining their commitment to excellence and quality.
- Diversification of the product line with the addition of renowned brands such as Brickstone Fine Foods and AP Gourmet following the acquisition of Au Printemps Gourmet, also located in the Laurentians.
- Development of a customized service offering to clients in the retail, hotel, restaurant, and industrial food service sectors.
- Acquisition of the company by Louis-François and Jean-Michel Marcotte in December 2023.

Our commitment is to do everything to preserve a winning recipe
It’s their quality that has allowed Beau-Lieu products to find their place of honor on the tables of people who love to eat good food. It’s on this quality that we will continue to focus.
This quality is built on ingredients of the highest standards, obtained from trusted partners who share our commitment to rigor and excellence.
The pursuit of quality also entails a commitment to always be in tune with the evolving tastes and expectations of our customers, whether they are for local, gluten-free, and as natural as possible products, or for more unique and sophisticated accompaniments.
Beyond quality, there is also within our values a desire for simplicity in products and their use, and a commitment to remain authentic to our customers, our teams, our community, and ourselves.
When you have a winning recipe, it would be foolish to change it.
