Poulet du Périgord is a breed of slow-growing chicken from the region of Périgord in the south-west corner of France. These meaty chickens with firm muscles have a white or yellow skin that hides just the right amount of evenly distributed fat.

Originating from the Galician province of Lugo, Capón de Vilalba is a castrated male chicken, traditionally slaughtered and sold a week before Christmas Eve, at the annual Capón de Villalba Fair. Reared in the open and fed on a 100% natural cereal-based diet, the flavorful free-range cockerels of Vilalba have the opportunity to roam freely in search of insects and larvae, which is of great importance from a nutritional point of view and an excellent anti-stress activity.

This makes the meat of Vilalba capons more tender in texture, darker in color and particularly juicy and succulent. In Spain, roasted Capón de Vilalba makes for an essential centerpiece at every Christmas dinner but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed year round.

Volaille de Bresse is the white variety of poultry from the French region Bresse and the Bresse breed. The birds have blue feet, a red crest and white feathers and flesh, which has been mentioned in the municipal records since the 16th century.

In the mid-19th century, a famous gourmet even wrote about the succulence of the Bresse poultry meat. The animals graze on the vast grassland and feed on the natural growing food - cereal, maize and buckwheat. Bresse chicken produces a marbling of the meat effect during the fattening period, and so, just like beef, develops the juiciest, firm, yet tender meat possible, infused with the flavor of all the local leaves and seeds. 

Poulet de l'Ardèche and Chapon de l'Ardèche is fresh meat from chickens and capons that are slaughtered when they are at least 81 days of age (chickens) or 150 days of age (capons), and are reared in the French region of Ardéche, with access to hills and pastures in the open air.

The animals feed on vegetables, minerals and vitamins, where the share of cereals amounts to at least 80% of the total diet. As a result, the meat is firm and moist with an intense flavor and a dark color. Ardéche farm poultry is highly praised and rewarded with several medals in agricultural competitions due to the high meat quality.

These chickens are mostly grass-fed, and their diet is supplemented with corn exclusively during the winter.

They have a bright yellow, thin, smooth skin. Their meat is exceptionally tender, juicy, and quite flavorful despite having a relatively low fat content. The Capão de Freamunde is used in numerous traditional Christmas dishes in the region, and they are also a traditional ingredient used for meals on the Feast Day of St. Lucia.

THIS CHICKEN BREED IS RARE. Bohuslän-Dals svarthöna is a breed of Swedish black domestic chicken. It is believed that the chickens were first brought to Norway in the 17th century by sailors from Mozambique. In the mid-19th century, they started to appear in the Swedish Bohuslän Dalsland region, where they were mixed with local chicken breeds, and nowadays we have Swedish black chicken as a result – a distinct breed of small chicken with completely black skin.

These rare chickens are usually kept for their cream-colored eggs.
