4 Tradition and Cuisine of the South West
The real cassoulet of CastelnaudaryCooked to a very old family recipe, our cassoulet is prepared for
your pleasure using rigorously selected ingredients: Creamy white
kidney beans, authentic "pure pork" Toulouse sausages, flavourful
preserved duck, liver or pork meats and a cooked gravy whose
secret we jealously guard, as you would expect.
The jewel of Castelnaudary…
Cassoulets of Castelnaudary
5
The jewel of Castelnaudary, cassoulet is the classic of our range. With family or amongst friends,
discover the real taste of an authentic dish, cooked according to the popular tradition of
Castelnaudary.
Cassoulet came into being during a siege in
which the Chauriens (the inhabitants of
Castelnaudary) were medieval martyrs.
Faced with the shortage of supplies, they
collected and cooked up the food they had
left, and the famous cassoulet of
Castelnaudary was born.
The legend
Cassoulets of Castelnaudary
Flavourful confits
6 Tradition and Cuisine of the South West
The ConfitsA little history... Two centuries before the birth of Christ, the Romans began preserving their duck
meat covered in hot fat in earthenware jars. This method of preservation continues to this day.
Across the South West, the
tradition of confit is actually the
result of a duck meat
preservation technique. Cooked
to an ancient and tried and
tested recipe, our confit is first
salted and then cooked slowly in
its own fat just as it used to be,
thus retaining its full flavour and
tenderness. A high quality range
of "confits".
Delicious specialities

This range symbolises the finest gastronomy
of the South West. Rich, warming regional
specialities, the result of local cuisine - family-
centred and convivial - passed down from
generation to generation. The chef at Audary
prepares these ready-cooked dishes for your
pleasure in the old-fashioned way, adhering
strictly to traditional and authentic recipes.
