Lejeune

Cibel 

The top brand of the Achiel De Witte Group, imported by Central Fruit , is without doubt Cibel. These products are distributed by our team pretty much all year round, who want to ensure only the very best quality and service.

Belgian origin produce

Of course, much of the produce we purchase comes from our good neighbours BELORTA. In Sint-Katelijne-Waver, we select Belgian vegetables of outstanding quality, in the Borgloon fruit auction we source their delicious hard fruit or ‘Eburon’ small fruits, as well as other superior quality produce.

In the Hoogstraten fruit auction, which is a well-known specialist in top quality Belgian strawberries, our buyers find the best soft fruit available. This naturally includes strawberries, but also blueberries, blackberries, etc.
We also purchase other necessary produce from local growers in other fruit auctions throughout the country: The REO cooperative (Roeselare), where the West-Flemish growers guarantee excellent quality.

Glasshouse vegetables

Glasshouse vegetables including hand-picked spinach, lamb’s lettuce, chervil, sorrel, etc., are collected directly from the grower during the winter months.

Spanish origin produce

Tomatoes, sold under the Cebon brand name, are packaged directly by our Spanish growers, without first having to pass by a fruit auction, so that premium quality is ensured.

Peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, various lettuce varieties, courgettes, curly-leaved endives, etc., are supplied directly from Spain to Lejeune NV three or four times a week, depending on customer demand, in various packaging sizes.

Grapes

During the Belgian grape season from August to November, we are present at the grape glasshouses in and around Overijse on a daily basis. The unique ‘Leopold grapes’ and the tasty ‘Ribier’ grapes are carefully sliced and packaged by the professional experts to make the ‘Royal tafeldruif’ (table grape).

Masia del Pino 

Fennel – cauliflowers – spring onions – parsley

Another of the toppers within the product range is the Masia del Pino brand, known in Belgium for their premium products, both in terms of quality and continuity. Since 2006-2007, we have been able to position ourselves as the most important representative of this brand in Belgium.

Italy is also one of our regular suppliers, specifically of raddichio.
Fennel, parsley, flat parsley and other vegetables are supplied directly in Europool crates. We are in daily contact with our regular suppliers in France, Spain and the Netherlands to be able to guarantee the continuity of our entire assortment.

During the spring and summer period, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, melons and other fruits, mostly of French or Spanish origin, are either supplied directly or bought in via a sister company in the European centre at Brussels.
