Kapaun Label Rouge

We at Freyberger want to offer you meat and sausage products of the best possible quality. This applies not only to our own products, but also to the products we purchase from our partners. An excellent example of this is a Label Rouge capon, exquisite poultry from France. Buy a capon now and see for yourself.

What is a capon?
A capon is a castrated free-range rooster that comes from certain old breeds such as the naked-necked chicken. Thanks to castration, capons focus on eating and therefore eat more than normal roosters. As the fattening process progresses, a capon rooster puts on a lot of fat, which later contributes significantly to its taste.

How do I prepare capons?
The capon rooster is particularly well-known as a classic Christmas roast - as capon de Bresse. It is stuffed and cooked in the oven. A capon label rouge also makes a good braised dish. We definitely recommend trying out different recipes. It's worth it!

Are capons always available?
No, if you want to buy a capon, this is only possible at certain times. Capons come onto the market from the last week of November. They are then available until New Year's Eve. A capon rooster therefore only has a relatively short season. If you want to buy a capon from Freyberger for Christmas, make sure you pre-order it before the first Advent.

Long before the topic was discussed publicly, poultry farmers in France consciously opposed factory farming and cheap meat. The result was a state seal of approval that still stands for the quality and taste of various animal products today. Since this also corresponds to Freyberger's philosophy, we are pleased to be able to offer you Capon Label Rouge.

The Label Rouge is a state seal of quality originating from France. Poultry such as the capon must therefore meet certain standards in order to receive it. For example, it is mandatory to have a slow-growing meat breed that produces particularly high-quality meat. Furthermore, the animals are free-range and fed with at least 70 to 80 percent grain. Slaughtering only takes place after sexual maturity has begun. The animals are then at least 81 days old and are therefore raised for a good twice as long as "conventional" poultry. A Label Rouge capon does not only owe its seal to the animal husbandry. Certain standards also apply with regard to consumers. This includes strict controls and quality standards.
