EuroCham Cambodia sat down to talk with Mu Gourmet's General Manager, Anaëlle Collet, about what Cambodia offered Mu Gourmet as a business and what she appreciate the most about being part of EuroCham. Read below about how Western and Cambodian values reunite for her in Phnom Penh.

Which accomplishments are you most proud of and why?

At MU Gourmet, we provide customers with several brands and high quality products that cannot be found elsewhere in Cambodia. Our concept: to reunite Cambodian heritage with Western values! The majority of our products are imported from Europe, but we also have many local products, including the well-known and very popular Kampot pepper and dried foods from Kirirom, Kompong Speu province.

I am quite proud of our location. As you enter our store, you will quickly realize that the beautiful building we are housed in is not a residential house or a hotel but indeed a fine-food store (and soon a cafe). Besides our quality food products, our decoration and architectural design captivates our customers to come in and return.

Why did you choose Cambodia for your business?

To me, Cambodia and particularly Phnom Penh, holds a lot of opportunities for entrepreneurs that you are not able to find in Europe. For instance, the building we’re in demonstrates this for me. I was able to get my hands on this beautiful villa, which from the outside looks like it belongs to a noble family or is an opulent hotel, and turn it into a unique shopping, upscale experience.

Do you have any special promotions or deals to offer other EuroCham members?

We would love to introduce all EuroCham members to our store, and offer a 5% discount on everything in the store until Nov. 30, 2016. Please use coupon code: MU-EURO (valid one time per member).

What types of partnerships and/or links do you look for with other EuroCham members? Why did you join our Chamber?

I look forward to connect with the EuroCham community to get my store and brand known. Also, EuroCham organizes great networking events and offers members like me the unique opportunity to participate in exclusive gatherings such as the GI Initiative & Awards Ceremony. This recent event, hosted by the EU’s Delegation to Cambodia, was a celebration of GI products in Cambodia and Europe and an opportunity to recognize Kampot Pepper as a PGI product. Approximately, 150 high-profile guests attended the evening and as one of 9 exhibitors, I was able to highlight a wide variety of high quality, GI and luxury products that we carry in our store (Wälchli Saint-Nectaire Cheese, Tomme de Savoie Cheese, Ossau-Iraty Cheese, AOP Fourme d’Ambert Cheese, Corsica Cheese, Salami Napoli, Salami Felino and Parma Ham). This was a great opportunity for me, and a lovely event to be part of to promote our fabulous store: MU Gourmet.
