Goose Meat

Goose meat is a dark poultry meat with a bold flavour and a higher fat content, which contributes to its juiciness and distinctive aroma. It comes from various parts of the bird, thighs, necks, backs, and wings. In the kitchen, it performs best when slow-roasted, braised, or prepared as confit, allowing the fat to render gradually while the meat becomes tender and succulent. It is well suited for ragouts, stews, stuffed dishes, and rich sauces. It is rich in protein, iron, and B vitamins. In Central Europe, goose meat is traditionally prepared in autumn, during the St. Martin's Day festivities or at Christmas.
