Mission 01
Reduce food waste
Every year, tonnes of vegetables are discarded because they don't meet cosmetic standards. We give these imperfect vegetables a new purpose by turning them into tasty organic spreads. Reducing waste at the source.
We're changing
the rules of the game.
DALF is the Belgian initiative that turns imperfect vegetables into delicious organic, local and seasonal spreads. Remarkable recipes with no additives: vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free. Proof that we can do better — for real.

Our story
How it all began
On farms, tonnes of fruit and vegetables never leave the fields and receive little value because they don't meet cosmetic standards. These vegetables — bruised and irregular, but perfectly edible — told another story: that of an absurd system that rejects anything that doesn't fit its mould.
So Sophie decided to act. Her idea: prove that the value of food lies in its taste, origin, story and impact — not its appearance.
In 2022, she founded DALF with a simple idea: give value to what gets discarded, support producers and bring meaning back to our plates.
“Our food system is still too linear: we produce, consume and throw away. This model wastes resources, neglects producers and creates unnecessary waste.”
Mission 02
Support local farmers
Farmers bear the losses caused by unsold produce and imposed size standards. We buy their seasonal surplus and encourage the development of a local, sustainable supply chain.
Mission 03
Healthy and sustainable food
Delicious plant-based recipes with 76 to 89% organic Belgian vegetables and 6 to 9 ingredients. Three recipes are rated Nutri-Score A (Carrot, Celeriac, Sweet potato) and two Nutri-Score B (Fennel, Red kuri squash).
Our vision
A circular commitment at every step
At DALF, we rethink the entire supply chain to make it circular, sustainable and local.
01
Give unsold vegetables a new purpose directly at the source.
02
Work with nearby production workshops and logistics partners.
03
Choose recyclable containers and reduce unnecessary packaging.
04
Support a local economy where everyone matters.

Why do your spreads cost more?
Our recipes are made in Belgium with organic vegetables, fresh ingredients and responsible production that pays producers more fairly.
What is the Nutri-Score of your products?
Three recipes are rated Nutri-Score A: Carrot, Celeriac and Sweet potato. Fennel and Red kuri squash are rated Nutri-Score B.
Can I freeze the spread?
We recommend enjoying the spreads fresh after opening. Exact storage guidance may be specified for each recipe.
Do you deliver outside Belgium?
Yes, we also ship to Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and mainland France, either to your home or to a DPD pickup location. Delivery times and shipping costs vary by country: you’ll find all the details in our Shipping Policy (Delivery) at the bottom of the page.
Where exactly do your vegetables come from?
Straight from our Belgian organic farmers (Hesbaye, Basse Meuse, Walloon Brabant). We use vegetables that are rejected by conventional distribution channels because of their shape or size: they’re perfectly good—they just don’t meet standard aesthetic criteria. They’re shipped directly to our facility in Forest, where we make our spreads.
Where does the money I spend at DALF go?
Every purchase supports Belgian production, gives surplus organic produce a new purpose and helps develop responsible plant-based recipes.
