Bresse poultry
We offer poultry from the French Bresse area, which has a very delicate taste and they are being raised under very strict regulations according to the 'A.O.C.' quality mark (Appellation d’Origine Controlée).
The poulet de Bresse is the only chicken with this quality mark and every chicken has 10 m² free range space outside. An adult is 85 days old.
We prefer the poularde de Bresse, having an even more fine taste, which has an extra 24 days foraging with corn and milk flour from the same A.O.C. region.
From the Bresse region we sell guinea fowl ('pintade'), turkey, capon (castrated rooster), pigeon, goose and duck (canard (M) and canette (F)).
We receive the poultry complete and with head, legs and intestines and we clean it for you the moment you buy it.
Some poultry is only available in a specific season: for poultry from the Bresse this is mainly during the fall and Christmas period and just before Thanksgiving.
Bresse-poulardes mostly are available in every season.
