Local terrines, the essential Christmas charcuterie
Artisanal terrines are perfect for an original and gourmet starter. They are a change from the eternal smoked salmon toasts and are a great replacement for the essential foie gras. Indeed, the terrine is the ideal partner for spreading on old-fashioned toasts .
The very making of the terrine already gives it a unique flavor. Only meats that are sufficiently tasty and yet soft when cooked can be used for this type of preparation. Terrines can thus be concocted with pork, rabbit or even duck. Game terrines, particularly tasty, have a powerful taste that is still perfect for toast (definitely). Some mushroom variations are both delicate and subtle, like the hands of our artisans who make these terrines.
In our shop, you will find a wide range of local products : porcini mushroom terrine, venison terrine or wild boar terrine. The taste of the meat can sometimes be enhanced by spices, as in the case of the Espelette pepper terrine. It will not fail to add some spice to your end-of-year evenings.
You can also present the terrines in various ways: served with pickles and crusty bread, accompanied by dried fruits, a salad or even fried mushrooms, they will be perfect, and you will see, there will be none left!
Superior raw ham
This charcuterie product is also a classic for appetizers and party starters . You can present simple slices of raw ham served on a platter with country bread. It goes well with salads and raw vegetables, eggs, cheese, olives, dried tomatoes or even fresh fruits such as melon or figs. Thanks to its neutral taste , you can combine it with a wide variety of flavors and surprise your guests with new combinations. Be creative!
We offer a dry-cured ham made from traditional recipes. Well cleaned and washed with spring water from the Ardèche, it is then coated with salt to remove excess water and prevent the development of bacteria. After salting, the pork butchers proceed with the maturing process, which lasts 6 to 8 months. During this time, the ham slowly develops its succulent flavor.
We are used to serving Serrano ham or Parma ham at receptions and parties. But this dry-cured ham from Aveyron , made exclusively from ham and salt, is a more than interesting local alternative to Iberian ham and Italian charcuterie. Its taste perfectly expresses the know-how of our French regions, it is a wise and smart choice for those looking for quality products and tasting products from our beautiful country.
Dried and smoked filet mignon
Often overlooked (and yet excellent), dried and smoked filet mignon is a very good Christmas charcuterie. Both leaner and more subtle than ham, it has a very pleasant soft texture in the mouth. Low in fat, filet mignon is the ideal Christmas charcuterie to celebrate without fearing the diets of the beginning of the year.
With a glass of red Pinot wine or a light dry white, it will delight your guests. You can even serve it to accompany champagne. Nothing is too good!
In addition, filet mignon is enjoyed with cheese or even melted cheese. It will be perfect for a raclette evening ! Filet mignon is also served on charcuterie boards for Christmas or with tapas. You can pair it with chorizo and artisanal cured products that are more or less spicy according to your tastes. It completes the range of local flavors.
Our filet mignon from Occitanie benefits from impeccable traceability. Made from farm-raised pork born, raised and processed in France by responsible breeders, this exceptional charcuterie will certainly please your guests and the Christmas spirit.
