Guinea Fowl Supreme, 125g

Guinea Fowl Supreme 125g is a 125g guinea fowl supreme — a skin-on breast portion from a free-range guinea fowl. The supreme is the finest single portion cut from the bird. As a result, it combines the flavour of free-range guinea fowl with the convenience of a single, elegant portion. Furthermore, the skin is left on for cooking. In particular, rendering the skin slowly in a hot pan produces a golden, crisp result that elevates the dish considerably.

About Free-Range & Label Rouge Game Birds

Free-range and Label Rouge farmed game birds occupy a unique position between domestic poultry and wild game. They are raised with far more space, a natural diet and a longer growing cycle than standard commercial poultry. As a result, the meat develops a flavour and texture that is considerably more complex than a standard chicken or farmed duck. In particular, Label Rouge is the French quality certification for poultry. Furthermore, birds raised to this standard must meet strict criteria for breed, diet and rearing. Furthermore, the slower growth cycle produces a firmer flesh and a more pronounced flavour. However, these birds are still considerably more forgiving to cook than fully wild game. Additionally, they suit a much wider range of cooking techniques and flavour pairings.

The free-range and Label Rouge birds here come from producers who prioritise welfare and flavour. As a result, quality above yield is the guiding principle throughout. As a result, these are birds of genuine quality — not simply a premium-priced version of the ordinary. In particular, guinea fowl has a subtly gamey character that makes it one of the most versatile and interesting birds to cook. Furthermore, quail — despite its small size — delivers an intensity of flavour that belies its delicate appearance. Moreover, both birds reward simple, confident cooking. Season generously, cook with care and let the quality of the bird do the rest.
