Smoked Duck Rillettes – with Mustard and Piment d'Espelette

The smoked duck rillettes from Martin-Pouret is a French terrine made with duck and pork, seasoned with Orléans mustard and Piment d'Espelette. It is one of the best terrines, having been prepared with the finest French mustard. When an Orléans vinegar master meets a craftsman in Chambord specializing in terrines and rillettes, the result is creations that will awaken your appetite!

The delicious mustard is produced entirely according to the tradition of mustard manufacturing. French mustard seeds from the Loire Valley are ground in a stone mill and mixed with salt from Guérande, a little turmeric for color, and the homemade Orléans vinegar to create this wonderfully creamy Moutarde d'Orléans, then seasoned with sweet and smoky Piment d'Espelette. But before this mustard releases its full flavor, it must first mature. This is how Martin-Pouret's mustard is made, just as it was hundreds of years ago. Here, the full flavor of this wonderful Martin-Pouret mustard has been combined with a delicious terrine of smoked duck and pork.

The smoked duck rillettes is a versatile French pâté in a jar. You can enjoy it on dark country bread, French sourdough bread, or German rye bread; it pairs well with cold cuts or cheese platters, with gherkins or other French pickles. You can eat it with a green salad or serve it with fried potatoes. Available here in a 150g jar.

French Duck Rillettes from Martin-Pouret

Once, the city of Orléans was the stronghold for vinegar production in France; even the king recognized the special quality of Orléans vinegar in a decree in 1590, but out of 300 vinegar manufacturers, only one remains: Maison Martin Pouret. Since 1797, they have been producing high-quality vinegar in the traditional way, which is still allowed to mature in wooden barrels. David Matheron and Paul-Olivier Claudepierre, who took over the vinegar house in 2019 and proudly look back on a unique heritage, the tradition of the great vinegar masters, which they are now allowed to continue. In addition to vinegar, the company also produces pickled preserves, such as gherkins, and French mustard. Or, as here in collaboration with a terrine maker from Chambord, a pâté with smoked duck and pork with mustard and Piment d'Espelette.

In addition to the quality of the duck and pork, the quality of the mustard is crucial for the taste of these rillettes. It's no wonder, then, that Martin-Pouret's Rillettes de canard fumé à la moutarde piment d'Espelette tastes so wonderful.
