The Amandines de Provence from the H. Lalo biscuit factory were almond-shaped wafers filled with a refined-tasting fondant. In 1901, Biscuits Pernot bought the H. Lalo biscuit factory in L'Isle-sur-Sorgues. Pernot would continue to produce the flagship Lalo biscuit, the Amandine de Provence, under its own brand.
Around 1860 Francesco Cirio built the first factory for canned peas. Following rapid development, he established several fruit and vegetable canning factories in southern Italy. To supply his factories, he brought abandoned lands back into cultivation. By 1900, at the time of his death, his company had become one of the largest in Europe.
