These rich, soft duck rillettes are made with pure confit duck meat, garlic, salt, pepper, and shallots. They are the ultimate simple but indulgent pleasure, made to a traditional recipe by French producer Castaing, who are well-known for their duck and goose products.

Serve these rillettes with fresh bread and tart cornichons or pickled vegetables. These duck rillettes have a long shelf life and can be kept in the fridge for several months before serving.

Famous for its foie gras, pâtés and terrines, Maison Castaing was founded by Joseph Castaing in 1925 in the picturesque village of Coudures, south-west France. Joseph’s descendants run the company to this day, exporting the flavours of Landes region to gourmands all over the world.
