Goose Rillettes

While duck is the staple of the South-West, the Goose (Oie) is considered the “Queen of Périgord” for its incomparable finesse. These rillettes from Foie Gras Godard are crafted using traditional slow-cooking methods, resulting in a spread that is lighter, smoother, and more delicate than its duck counterpart. It is a pure, unadulterated tribute to the refined flavors of the Quercy-Périgord region.

Serving Method:

• Classic Degustation: Serve on a slice of farmhouse bread or a rustic miche. The simplicity of the bread allows the subtle sweetness of the goose to be the star.

• The “Périgord” Picnic: Pair with fresh radishes, sea salt, and a light-bodied red wine like a Chinon or a Pinot Noir.

• Culinary Garnish: Use as a luxurious topping for a warm potato salad or stuffed into hollowed-out cherry tomatoes for a sophisticated canapé.

• Serving Tip: Best enjoyed slightly cool, but not ice-cold. Take it out of the fridge 10 minutes before serving to appreciate the delicate fat structure.
