Castaing Duck Rillettes 400g Barquette

Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

Ril­lettes refers to a spe­cial kind of prepa­ra­tion of meat that makes in sim­i­lar to a pâté. In this case, duck meat, often com­ing from legs or wings, are dry-brined and braised in a spe­cial stock then shred­ded and fla­vored fur­ther with spices. The result is a deli­cious meat spread that can work eas­i­ly with bread and a vari­ety of hors d’oeuvres.

The Cas­taing Duck Ril­lettes is made exclu­sive­ly from duck meat in con­fit, with­out any pork or preservatives.

Pair­ings

Duck Ril­lettes are ready to eat and can be spread over toast­ed coun­try style bread or a baguette. This can be com­ple­ment­ed with onion jam or crunchy pick­les on the side. You may also use this in your sand­wich­es or serves as part of the char­cu­terie board.

This makes a great pair­ing part­ner with Caber­net Franc or a good Pinot Noir.
