Foie Gras Grolière - Les Eyzies de Tayac

Our family and craft business which celebrated its 55th anniversary in 2015, was created by Jeanne Grolière, from an ancestral family of renowned cooks, and her husband.

It all started in 1960 :

In 1960, Jeanne Grolière decided to embark on the production of family canned goods and Périgourdines. Having few means, she cooked her recipes inherited from her parents and grandparents in her own stove and went to the market every week to sell her few products. This is how she built up a client file and seeing sales progress, she invested, with the help of her husband, in a small canned laboratory, in their own house.

Over the years :

Production increasing, she decided in 1980 to create a new factory, larger and mechanized in order to cope with the expansion of her sales thanks to word of mouth which had honored the quality of her produced for several years. At first, she was joined by her eldest son Jean-Marc, just graduated from his hotel school. They lived together the expansion of the company at the commercial level and began to develop sales on trade fairs as well as by correspondence. Jean-Marc then took charge of production and gradually modernized the manufacturing tools. Over the years, our company has continued to develop and acquire a reputation for reliability and quality.

Jeanne Grolière's second son, Jacques, has joined the company a few years ago. Jeanne Grolière died in September 2008 at the age of 76.

Today :

The company is managed by his two sons Jean-Marc and Jacques.

Our job :

Our job is above all a passion, that of Haute Périgourdine gastronomy, offered to the greatest number and with respect for authentic flavors. We are sculptors of flavors.

We are Artisans

Indeed, we are above all artisans because respect for tradition, authentic flavors and quality has always been our priority and it is thanks to these requirements that we can, today, display our awards received each year and this history of which we are so proud.

Although more mechanized, our work is above all that of a small team, used to working with respect for craftsmanship, the desire to do well and know-how: knowing, for example, mastering cooking of our canned and semi-cooked foie gras to guarantee their perfect resistance after cooking and develop their flavors, or even have our Périgueux Sauce reduced for a long time and with tact.

Our recipes are made without coloring agents or preservatives. We work exclusively with raw materials from our region and defend labels such as "Duck with Foie Gras from the South West" or "Oies du Périgord". With us, the traceability and quality of our foie gras are a permanent concern. It is always in this spirit of perfection that we regularly seek to create innovative, original and delicate recipes such as our foie gras crème brûlée, our duck foie gras with Guérande salt lacquered with Pineau des Charentes or our figs stuffed with duck foie gras and Pineau.

Our culture is tradition, our challenge is innovation.

We are Preservers :

This word seems, at first sight, to be in contradiction with that of craftsman because it resonates at the bottom of us, an organization of chain work, a manufacture of preserves as do large production factories.

In our trade, the term “Preservative” is fully integrated into our respect for craftsmanship because it allows us to manufacture, in particular, Duck Liver Mousse, Duck and Goose Confits, Enchauds, Roast Chicken, or our famous and very original Crème Brûlée with Duck Foie Gras, in the best conditions of hygiene and conservation of quality products, from our region and our gastronomic tradition. We are also proud to offer you the real flavors of our region with our Périgord truffles, porcini mushrooms from our undergrowth or even Girolles and Chestnuts from Périgord Noir where our town of Bugue is located.

We also offer a selection of the best Caviars from Aquitaine and Périgord from the Maisons Sturia and Perle Noire.

We have 4 shops in Périgord :

1 in Sarlat, 2 in Bugue and 1 in Eyzies de Tayac. You can taste our products for free. We also welcome you to our Bugue factory where we offer you a visit, a video on our company and our profession and a free tasting (open on Saturdays also in July and August). You can also discover our geese.
