Authentic and flavorful duck confit from southwestern France
Label Rouge duck confit from Southwest France is prepared using an age-old preservation method in which pieces of duck (usually legs) are slowly cooked in their own fat (hence the name “confit”), resulting in tender, juicy meat with a crispy outer layer. This confit process allows the duck to be preserved for long periods without losing its organoleptic qualities.
IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) is a French national designation identifying products with a higher level of quality than other industrially produced products. Label Rouge is an even higher standard, guaranteeing optimal quality for both the products and the production process.
This culinary delight also bears the French quality label “Label Rouge", which means that at every stage of rearing, production, and preparation, these products must meet the requirements defined in specifications approved by INAO (the French National Institute of Origin and Quality). This is how we guarantee that, in addition to enjoying something delicious, it is of high quality and carefully prepared.
Enjoy it without worrying about your health with this specialty
Duck fat is rich in monounsaturated fats (fatty acids that help lower bad LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL cholesterol). It therefore helps protect against cardiovascular risks, although it should still be consumed in moderation.

Serving suggestions
- Very easy to prepare, the duck leg can simply be reheated in the oven or in a pan.
- Remove the excess fat and place the duck legs in a pan (skin-side down to make it crispy). Then reheat over low heat with the lid on for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally.
- How about a fresh salad with leafy greens, walnuts, and a mustard vinaigrette? It will be the perfect complement to balance the richness of the duck.
- If possible, serve it with country bread or a baguette for spreading the remaining sauce or fat.
- Pair this dish with a good wine; it can be white or red, depending on your taste!
Do not throw away the delicious fat that comes with it, as it can be used to cook other dishes, such as fries or roasted vegetables, adding a delicious touch of flavor to any meal.
