Foie Gras
Ah, foie gras... This product alone represents the whole of our gastronomy: gourmet pleasure, sharing and above all the quality of the product.
PGI
We're part of the very closed (and coveted) circle of foies gras from the South-West.
More than just a geographical area, the South West represents a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) for foie gras production. This distinction is a guarantee that the duck has been reared, prepared and packaged in the South West in accordance with age-old traditions. It is also a guarantee of the irreproachable quality of the force-feeding and production processes. This PGI covers the regions of Chalosse, Gers, Gascony, Landes, Quercy and finally Périgord, our home.
But the guarantee doesn't stop there, as there is also a PGI applying exclusively to Périgord. This certification was made possible by the "Foie gras du Périgord" Association, set up in 1993.
There are only two species of duck with PGI certification: Muscovy duck and Mulard duck.
The ducklings are reared in the open air, in accordance with traditional methods. The ducklings arrive at the farm on their first day. For 11 to 14 weeks, they are fed with South-West maize, herbs and local cereals. Force-feeding begins when the ducklings weigh at least 3.5 kg and never before their 81st day.
