Supreme Quail Breast ( (individually quick frozen) approx. 26 pieces

Nice to know:  Les pigeonneaux Fermier du poitou – From egg to chef's kitchen.

Comprehensive quality: Genetically selected breeding stock.

Animal welfare: The well-being of the poultry is paramount: high-quality feed in sufficient quantity,
clean premises, constant ventilation, plenty of fresh water. Rearing in perfect harmony with the natural rhythms of the young pigeons.

Natural growth: For the first few days, the young are fed exclusively with the crop milk of their parents. This very rich milk allows the chick to double its weight within 48 hours. Human intervention is impossible; industrial pigeon farming is not an option.

Feeding with flaxseed, which is very rich in Omega-3 fatty acids: In accordance with the guidelines of BLEU BLANC COEUR (a French association whose goal is to promote healthier breeding methods), the young pigeons are fed grains (flaxseed, lupins, broad beans, etc.) and plants (grass, alfalfa, etc.) that are excellent for their health and the environment.

Flaxseed is the oilseed with the highest content of Omega-3 fatty acids: Thanks to this diet, the meat of our young pigeons is flavorful, tender, juicy, and of high nutritional quality.

From the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to our kings… who alone had the privilege of enjoying pigeons, to the French revolutionaries who feasted on them, the tradition is carried on today by the most renowned Michelin-starred chefs, who prepare them according to the most innovative recipes.

Nice to know: The quail is one of the smallest gallinaceous birds in the world, yet it has been a valued domestic and wild bird for millennia. It combines remarkable biology with culinary significance.

Small birds with a great tradition: The European quail (Coturnix coturnix) is a classic migratory bird, whereas the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) has been domesticated and is now found worldwide in breeding lines. Archaeological finds show that humans kept quail and used their eggs as early as 4,000 years ago.

Quail in the culinary world: Its meat is delicate, aromatic, and exceptionally tender, and is frequently used in fine dining. Quail eggs are considered a delicacy – they have a more intense flavor than chicken eggs and a favorable yolk-to-white ratio. Because of their size, quail are ideal for individual portions, appetizers, or festive menus.

Special considerations for keeping quail: Quail grow very quickly: They often start laying eggs as early as 6–8 weeks old. They are prone to stress, which necessitates a calm environment for breeding.

Despite their small size, they are very productive: A laying quail can lay 250–300 eggs per year.

Animals with remarkable characteristics: Quail are ground dwellers and can take flight abruptly upwards when threatened – the so-called "steep takeoff." They have very sensitive hearing and are easily alert to loud noises and sudden movements. Wild quail can travel up to 4,000 km on their migratory routes.
