Volailles de Vendée

Volailles de Vendée is poultry raised in the open air in the French region of Vendée and the neighboring cantons since the 19th century. The animals feed on a cereal-based diet, and the meat is firm with very good organoleptic properties.

White and yellow capons produce meat with a soft texture and a slightly gamey aftertaste, while the white chickens roam in the forests and find food in the brushwood areas, making their meat taste different than other, standardly-raised poultry. The meat can be sold either fresh or frozen, and due to the climatic characteristics of the region, it has more proteins and less water content than other poultry.

Prepare it roasted or sautéed and paired with vegetables, potatoes and fresh aromatic herbs for a hearty dish.
