We are at a place that should also excite you, located on the border between the regions of Périgord Noir and Bergeracois. On the hills overlooking the Dordogne, we meet Isabelle and Pierre-Yves Kuster on their goose and duck farm, one of the most beautiful and traditional farms.
With a great passion for these animals, Pierre-Yves Kuster explains to us how they are raised with great care for several months before they are made (not without regret) wonderful foie gras, rillettes, confits and other good things.
Most of all about foie gras we had only the usual, common knowledge, which extended to the supposedly poor and tortured animals.
The Kuster family offers foie gras and original or traditional homemade dishes from Périgord. These preparations are made without additives, chemical preservatives, colorants or artificial flavor enhancers from fattened breeding geese and ducks. Production takes place in facilities approved according to EU standards and strictly controlled by the competent state bodies. Through rigor and deontology, even philosophy, the Kuster couple has imposed specifications on their farm that respect coherent traditional practices and guarantee the customer a healthy and tasty product.
In 1982, the family moved to the Périgord, marking the beginning of this adventure started by Pierre-Yves father Michel. - Today we see the result of years of work, patience and springs without end. And we had the pleasure of talking to Pierre-Yves about his profession.
