Renée Voltaire - the person and brand

Virtue, decadence and Renée

To be a consumer is not easy. Wanting to eat in step with your time but discovering that time is out of step with itself. In one moment, the public mood emphasises sustainability and responsibility, in the next it preaches unscrupulous indulgence. Climate change anxiety and health stress on Tuesday, a meat feast on Saturday. It’s no surprise that study after study diagnoses consumers as having a split personality and a purchasing complex.

Renée Voltaire refuses to succumb to any of these pitfalls. Our approach is organic and plant-based, but also fun and innovative when it comes to flavours and design. Renée experiments and cooks at home in Stockholm, while the raw materials and inspiration come from all around the world. We keep meticulous track of every ingredient and have no intention of ever evolving into an industry. Yet we offer more than 150 items with around 50 new additions every year.

We refuse to compromise. Life is too long not to eat sustainably – and too short to not indulge occasionally. This is why we are trying to build a better world with knives and forks, a world that is in step with itself.

Renée Voltaire AB – the company

Fifty innovators, inspirers and world improvers

Renée Voltaire AB is a company with over 50 employees, with customers across the Nordic region as well as in Estonia, and with supplier partners around the world. Since the company started in 2005 it has been fully owned and managed by Renée Voltaire, the happy rebel of health food who challenges conventions in category after category.

The company exists for one reason: To build a better world with knives and forks. That’s why we get out of bed every morning to make it easier and more enjoyable for people to live a sustainable and healthy life. This mission leads to around 50 plant-based product innovations every year.
