GUINEA FOWL LANDES 'Arnaud Tauzin ' 1.7kg
WHOLE LANDES GUINEA FOWL 'Arnaud Tauzin '
The Guinea Fowl has marbled flesh it is noble with a delicate taste, and its flavour is close to that of game. Originating from West Africa, this black and white speckled bird was first imported to Europe by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. As well as being a popular meat in West Africa, French and Italians chefs can’t get enough of it, and are some of the biggest guinea fowl producers in Europe.
The birds are generally a little smaller than a chicken and their flavour is somewhere between pheasant and chicken, with a mild gamey flavour. It naturally pairs nicely with earthy, autumnal flavours like mushrooms and beetroot, and robust winter root vegetables such as celeriac or parsnip. Like other game, it is also delicious with winter fruits.
Arnaud Tauzin’s family has farmed poultry since the 19th century and is considered one of France’s most renowned producers. All of Arnaud Tauzin's Guinea fowl are corn-fed on maize made on his own farm.
He produces a product specification that is far higher than nearly all equivalent label rouge birds. For their final five weeks, they are finished on a diet of whole maize and milk, which develops a layer of fat between the skin and the flesh ( as well as delicious marbling). This diet contains ' slow sugars ' which readily turn to fat (as well as giving the skin great colour). In cooking, this allows a really crusty skin with succulent flesh.
PREPARATION
All of our poultry is prepared in house. We prepare each bird on the day it arrives to us from France. We use trussing needles to tie the birds into a the perfect shape for oven roasting which means closing any cavities so the birds cook evenly.
FROZEN POULTRY
For optimum freshness we prepare our poultry as soon as it arrives from our suppliers. Each bird is wrapped and frozen to -30°c using a blast freezer. This method prevents ice crystals forming in the meat so the bird is in perfect condition when defrosted, and offers exceptional cooking results.
