Pré aux canards, an authentic and excellent foie gras The PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Sud-Ouest guarantees compliance with demanding specifications, the responsibility for monitoring which is entrusted to the INAO (National Institute of Origin and Quality), which ensures compliance with numerous specific criteria. For example, duck breeding and canning of foie gras must take place in the South West, which in particular avoids excessive transport of products. Ducks must be able to roam freely and have a corn-based diet. The ducks are raised in the South West near the canning sites, which makes it easier to carry out frequent quality checks carried out by external bodies to ensure compliance with the specifications (impeccable hygiene of the breeding and production sites, traceability, large free spaces for the ducks). Committed to respecting the spirit of “Homemade” “Pré aux Canards” whole foie gras is produced by a cooperative located in the south of the Tarn department, in the Haut Languedoc Regional Natural Park. The strength of this cooperative is that it controls the entire sector, from the breeding of ducks by the members of the cooperative in the departments of Tarn, Aude and Aveyron to the canning of products in a modern building where the cooks apply traditional methods. All “Pré aux Canards” foie gras is prepared with the aim of respecting the “homemade” spirit, which requires a certain level of precision but guarantees tasty and generous foie gras.
