Do you respect the cold chain?
All our products are stored inside our cold stores, both chilled and frozen. Once leaving our warehouse, they are transported in our Petit Forestier vans for our deliveries in Dubai that also contains both a chiller (0 to 5 degrees) and a freezer (-18 degrees) partitions.
For our deliveries to other emirates, our partner AHOY! It’s equipped with chiller vans. We hand over frozen items to AHOY only when packed with dry ice that conserves the products at negative temperature for several hours.

Why do you have lots of French products?
We have a lot of French products because French food is the best in the world! 😇 We're kidding!
The real reason: Maison Duffour was created by Rodolphe and Alix Duffour, a French couple who moved to Dubai more than a decade ago. We offer products that we know best being from our home country, that we like and that are of high quality. The French know-how is recognized for its quality and its history. We import a part of our terroirs to share them with you.

Why do you stop proposing some products?
Our main objective: to offer you quality products! That's why we work according to the seasons. You will not find strawberries on our website in December for example or oysters in July.
Why do you still sell meat?
We sell meat because we want to offer you the essentials to make your shopping!
Our meats are halal and we offer a non-halal range when it comes to pork meat.

Why are some products out of stock?
Because they are victims of their own success!
If you see a product out of stock on our website, it means that we can't propose it for the moment. But don't panic! They usually come back in stock quickly! We have weekly deliveries to keep us supplied.
To be informed of our restocks or our novelties, follow us on social networks: @maisonduffour or subscribe to our newsletter.

Why not propose only local products?
Even if we work a lot with local companies and producers (Sous chefy, Jarra, Mirzam, Sausage Fabrique, Krispr...) We also offer you products from other countries like France or Spain.
Why? Simply because we offer regional products and we find them in their region, in their country to have the best quality. Each country has its own specialties and it would be a shame not to enjoy them!

Which products can I freeze? Can I refreeze a defrosted item?
You can freeze all our fresh products (Tradition baguettes, fresh beef, veal and lamb, pork sausages etc.). However, never refreeze a thawed product, to avoid any bacteria multiplication.
Which cheeses are pasteurised/pregnant friendly?
We have a wide selection of pasteurised cheeses. To find out which cheeses are pregnant women friendly, enter the keyword "pasteurised" in the search bar.
Which products are gluten free?
To find out which products are gluten free, enter the keyword "Gluten-free" in the search bar. We also mention usually the term "gluten free" in the product title when it normally contains gluten.
Which products are Plant-Based?
To find out which products are plant-based, enter the keyword "vegan" or "plant-based" in the search bar. We also mention usually the term "vegan" in the title of the product when it normally contains animal proteins in its composition.

Can I pre-book some products?
You can order in advance; a calendar at the bottom of the cart page will let you select any date you would like to have your order delivered or picked up.
However, as we have a regular rotation of cheeses and fruit and vegetables, we cannot guarantee that all products will still be available too far in advance.
If this is not the case, we will contact you and replace the concerned items with something similar.
