POULET DE BRESSE AOC
Poulet de Bresse AOC Whole Chicken
Origin: Bresse, France
Poulet de Bresse AOC is French poultry's crème de la crème, renowned for its exceptional flavour and texture. This prestigious chicken boasts a protected designation of origin (AOC) status, guaranteeing its authenticity and quality. Raised free-range in the Bresse region of eastern France, these chickens are fed a strict diet of cereals and milk, resulting in succulent, flavourful meat with distinctive blue-tinged skin and white feathers.
Poulet de Bresse is prized for its tender, juicy meat with a rich, complex flavour. The birds' unique diet and free-range lifestyle contribute to their superior taste and texture, making them a favourite among top chefs and discerning food enthusiasts worldwide.
For the best results: roast the Poulet de Bresse whole in the oven, basting regularly with its own juices. Serve simply with roasted vegetables to fully appreciate its exceptional flavour. Alternatively, it can be used in classic French dishes such as Coq au Vin and Poulet En Vesse.
Wine pairing from our cellar selection: Pair with an elegant white Burgundy such as the Domaine Jean Defaix Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Léchet 2022 to complement the chicken's delicate flavour without overpowering it.
Preparation: All of our poultry is expertly prepared in-house. We process each bird on the day it arrives from France, ensuring maximum freshness. Using traditional trussing techniques, we carefully bind the birds into the ideal shape for oven roasting. This method closes any cavities, promoting even cooking throughout. Please note that these birds are oven-ready and do not include giblets, making them convenient for immediate use in your kitchen.
Frozen Poultry: For optimum freshness, we prepare our poultry immediately upon arrival from our suppliers. Each bird is carefully wrapped and rapidly frozen to -30°C using a blast freezer. This advanced quick-freezing method prevents the formation of ice crystals within the meat, ensuring the bird remains in perfect condition when defrosted. As a result, you can expect exceptional quality and cooking results, preserving the premium taste and texture of our Poultry.
