The jewel of Castelnaudary 4 Tradition and Cuisine of the South West
Cassoulets of Castelnaudary The jewel of Castelnaudary, cassoulet is the classic of our range. With family or amongst friends, discover the real taste of an authentic dish, cooked according to the popular tradition of Castelnaudary. The legend Cassoulet came into being during a siege in which the Chauriens (the inhabitants of Castelnaudary) were medieval martyrs. Faced with the shortage of supplies, they collected and cooked up the food they had left, and the famous cassoulet of Castelnaudary was born. 5
The Confits A little history... Two centuries before the birth of Christ, the Romans began preserving their duck meat covered in hot fat in earthenware jars. This method of preservation continues to this day. Flavourful confits Across the South West, the tradition of confit is actually the result of a duck meat preservation technique. Cooked to an ancient and tried and tested recipe, our confit is first salted and then cooked slowly in its own fat just as it used to be, thus retaining its full flavour and tenderness. A high quality range of "confits". 6 Tradition and Cuisine of the South West
