History
Alter Eco took shape, over ten years ago, when a group of friends translated their shared interests for travel, adventure and food into a viable business model. Most importantly, it was their passion for creating economic and social justice in developing areas of the world and the food grown in these regions that has created the company's true success. Co-founded by transplanted Frenchmen Mathieu Senard and Edouard Rollet, Alter Eco is a values-based brand of specialty food products that brings delicious, exotic, high-quality and healthy ingredients from around the world to consumers in the United States, all while directly benefitting small producers globally.
