Kraft Foods Carte Noire

In 1978 Frenchman René Monnier created Carte Noire™. Innovation was needed in the highly competitive market of the time and so a new segment was created: the pure arabic/premium market. Carte Noire™ spread quickly and soon became the reference point for premium coffee. The Carte Noire™ name and logo symbolized luxury and privilege. Its black and gold packaging evokes its quality, its intense aroma and its particularly well-balanced taste. Its freshness valve on the roast and ground pack allows for perfect conservation and a particularly pleasant sense of touch. This revolutionary product/packaging mix has been the driver of Carte Noire™ growth in France and it is now the undisputed leader in the premium coffee market.
