Oie d'Anjou

Oie d'Anjou is a White Rhine goose, traditionally prepared roasted around Christmas-time, during the festive season. Commonly, they are sold as oven-ready meals with a delicate aroma and smell of white meat, pleasant taste and soft, yet firm flesh.

Their skin is soft and yellow, with some fat underneath it due to the fattening process. The geese are reared in the open air, on fields and feed on a diet of local grain, corn and wheat. For the best experience, it is roasted in the oven and served with either roasted or mashed potatoes and butter, drizzled with roast drippings.
