Since 1980
Welcome to De Veurn'Ambachtse
In 1980 the meat-products atelier "De Veurn'Ambachtse" was raised in Alveringem. From the first day onwards, it was the intention to work in an artisanal way. So, instead of using industrial production methods, only artisanal procedures have been used.
The same philosophy is handled concerning the ingrediënts: In the preparation of our delicacies, only fresh and natural quality ingrediënts are used. Artificial coloring and preservatives are forbidden into our delicious "De Veurn'Ambachtse" terrines.
You, as consumer, have the right to be very critical. Therefore we specialize only in producing patés and fine terrines. Piece by piece, quality products with the quality certificate: "Quality Control". This certificate guarantees the quality of our products, it is more strictly than the legal standards are, and is acknowledged by many consumer organisations.
Therefore: Ask for Patés from "De Veurn'Ambachtse" at your local nutritionist.
Artisanal quality has to be tasted and especially enjoyed with taste!
In 2000, De Veurn'Ambachtse expanded with the opening of the praat-, eet- en kunstcafé 't Potje Paté. (talk-, eat- and art café)
This is the eminent house of taste for many gastronomics
"De Veurn'Ambachtse" delicasies, are naturally more than that only.
Next to 't Potje Paté you will find the Paté shop, where you can find the complete assortiment of "De Veurn'Ambachtse", including many Belgian Beer prepared patés.
2002 was a fantastic year! Manager Jan Missiaen was chosen as manager of the year by a local jury in West-Flanders and also as a finalist in Brussels. A reward for the life work of Jan Missiaen en Rita Depuydt!
Also in 2004 De Veurn’Ambachtse made a big effort to become even a bigger specialist. After the adoption of the company Vantrois, the assortment has been extended with culinair quality products as Foie Gras, mousses and rillettes.
To make the assortment bigger, a new production line for producing sterilised patés and Foie gras was set up!
In 2006 we are the first (and at this moment also the only) patéproducer in Belgium who has the label of “erkend streekproduct” (protected region product).
The VLAM granted this label to VEURN' AMBACHTSE Ouderwetschen boerenpaté (old farmers paté).
In 2008 Potjesvlees is also à protected region product!
On the Meat en Fresh Expo 2009 one of our dishes has won the "Innovativity award"!
2010 is the celibrations of 30 years meat factory De Veurn' Ambachtse and 10 years restaurant 't Potje Paté!
2010 is also the year that we won à culinary contest "Best Belgian Beer Bite" with local products!
