The Grands Moulins de Strasbourg Group owned the "Huileries Alsaciennes" company, which manufactured edible oils and bleached peanut seeds (removal of the seed film) to supply large pastry manufacturers.

The idea of making an unsweetened raw paste from the broken or badly graded seeds by crushing and roasting them made its way to give birth to the brand Dakatine (contraction of Dakar and Tartine), which was first diffused around 1960.

Sales by business activity of the Les Grands Moulins Group break down as follows : - milling (96.8%); - manufacture of peanut paste (3.1%; Dakatine).

The factory is based in Strasbourg.
