Bresse Weisshähnchen Effilee

Label Rouge stands for perfect quality in terms of nutrition, taste and hygiene, for strict controls at all stages of production from the farm to the feed and presentation on the shop counter. Preventive use of antibiotics is strictly prohibited and not necessary with the types of husbandry offered. In the case of poultry, it is also important that slow-growing meat breeds with high-quality meat are raised for fattening. The animals must be kept in small groups, free-range or outdoors. They must be fed 70 to 80 percent grain. The feed may be supplemented with vegetable protein. Feeding with fish or animal meal is prohibited. The animals usually live twice as long as those from conventional rearing. That is why we are proud to offer you our Bresse white chicken effilée today: the best poultry in the world.

The state seal of quality is not only available for chicken and poultry, but also for beef, veal, lamb and, for example, Scottish salmon. However, our beef and veal come from producers in Germany. With the exception of Scottish salmon, the seal is only awarded to products from France. Our free-range chickens are also exclusively Label Rouge certified. Every customer can enjoy this poultry with a clear conscience. Strict controls throughout the entire period from chick to slaughter ensure that all criteria are met.

Label Rouge free-range chickens are at least 81 days old when slaughtered. Only slow-growing breeds may be raised. The so-called naked-neck chickens are the most common breed. To receive the seal, the animals must meet the highest visual, sensory and hygienic standards. During the fattening period, the free-range chickens are regularly moved to new locations in mobile stalls. The chickens are never fenced in after they are chicks, so they only have unlimited access to the outdoors. A special type of French chicken is the Bresse white chicken effilée.

In the past centuries, attempts have been made to domesticate wild birds. But either it was not possible to keep the animals in an enclosure and they died. Or the domesticated animals lost their typical wild taste. Which was the reason for domestication. However, the experiment was successful with guinea fowl. Today, it is the poultry that comes closest to wild birds in terms of taste. In our range you will also find guinea fowl legs and guinea fowl breasts supreme. Label Rouge guinea fowl live for at least 94 days before they are slaughtered. After they are chicks, they live exclusively in large, spacious enclosures. Unlike chickens, however, the enclosure must be fenced in, otherwise the animals will escape. This is why guinea fowl is an absolute delicacy with lots of flavor and structure.
