WOOD PIGEON

Wood pigeon is a much-loved species of wild fowl, prized for its full and rich flavor and its tender meat. It is a classic choice in game cuisine, often chosen as a dish during special occasions.

WHAT MAKES WOOD PIGEON SPECIAL?

Wood pigeon has a very distinct taste that is very similar to other wild fowl, but it is more subtle than that of pheasant, for example. The meat is very tender and juicy and has a nutty undertone. The most popular part of the wood pigeon is the breast fillets. This is due to the soft texture and intense taste. Wood pigeon has a typical wild color and is, for example, darker than chicken or turkey. The meat is lean and requires proper preparation to prevent it from becoming dry. Our wood pigeons are carefully selected from animals from the wild that have had a good life, so the meat is also free of antibiotics or other artificial additives.

WHAT GOES WELL WITH WOOD PIGEON?

Wood pigeon goes very well with autumnal and winter flavors that complement the intensity of the meat well. Combine the wood pigeon with earthy side dishes such as mashed potatoes or carrots or with fruity flavors such as apples and figs. The meat can be seasoned very well with thyme, rosemary, sage and bay leaf or with spices such as cloves, star anise or cinnamon. Add a delicious Pinot Noir to the table and you have a fantastic feast!
