Ingredients: Prince Noir de Biscay pork, pine buds infused in Domaine Laballe Armagnac, Salies-de-Béarn salt, pepper, onions, garlic.

An unexpected encounter between the forests of the Landes, the rich traditions of French charcuterie and the elegance of Armagnac! With CHARNELLE, Les Conservistes have created a truly distinctive take on traditional pork rillettes.

Developed in collaboration with their friend Arnaud from Sixty-Five Cochonnailles, this exceptional recipe begins deep in the pine forests of South-West France. Each spring, tender pine buds are carefully gathered by hand, then left to dry naturally for several weeks in a traditional Landes farmhouse before being infused in Armagnac from the renowned Domaine Laballe.

The fragrant infusion is then combined with beautifully rich Prince Noir de Biscay pork, a traditional local breed, and slowly cooked overnight to develop a wonderfully tender texture and delicate, complex aromas.

The result is a remarkable balance of rustic richness, subtle woodland notes and the gentle warmth of Armagnac. An elegant and unexpected combination that perfectly captures the spirit of the region.

Enjoy generously spread on rustic sourdough bread, alongside cornichons, or as the centrepiece of a generous French charcuterie board.

A little taste of the Landes, where tradition, nature and indulgence come beautifully together!
