Gourmet products local specialties and wines Tarn-Et-Garonne

A very pleasant tea room opened since 2008 where you can also taste, in a cosy atmosphere, an excellent vegetarian cuisine and acquire the best organic teas of the moment. Varied and tasty dishes, from the starter to the dessert, it's all homemade with a gazpacho, a roquefort cake, a vegetable soup, a vegetarian chili, a hot goat cheese or a vegetable lasagne... Homemade desserts also with an apple pie, a cannelé and a chocolate fondant. Workshops and activities all year round for children and themed dinners.

For more than 30 years, the cannery has been making a wide range of local products: foie gras, confits, pâtés, rillettes, ready-made meals and gourmet specialities. A know-how, a high requirement, a commitment to quality, products selected from the best producers in the region. The duck rillettes from the Pignols cannery were awarded the bronze medal at the Paris agriculture show. At the Cannery, you can attend a demonstration of cutting up a duck and making a foie gras.

This local speciality can be found at a... delicatessen! The talented Bonnefous family, Jacques, Marie-Josée and their daughter Françoise, are passionate about quality and respect for the best products. They are the only ones to perpetuate this ancient recipe of the legendary Lauzerte macaroon known since the 11th century. This macaroon does not resemble in any way these small fours stilted in their shell of ice. With their ripe wheat colour, they are cracked on the outside, soft and full of sweetness on the inside. The almond flavours take our soul back to childhood.

Magnificent residence, of regional and Persian style. A vineyard divided between tradition and modernism gives the best of its soil. The vines, managed in organic culture certified by Ecocert, are strewn with perennial flowers, lupins, fenugreek, oats, broad beans and other plants that transfer nitrogen from the air to the earth! This quality policy results in yields below the appellation limit. The king grape variety for Fronton wines, as for the estate, remains the négrette (called pinot Saint-Georges in the United States).

Don't miss the typical Sunday morning market with its stalls of farmhouse cheeses and local cold meats, among other things, which will delight the gourmets. Benefiting from a prolific terroir, the market is the showcase of all these products with a privileged relationship between the producer and the consumer. Let yourself be carried away by the scents of lavender, croustade, walnut oil, but also foie gras, duck confit, black pudding, truffles grown (in winter) on the plateaux of the Causse, quince honey for jam!

Little running to find into full downtown an average surfaces with petrol pumps (single distributor of the super E85 ethanol, 20 km with the round) and also a drive which gives the availability in 5 minutes of your shopping to Intermarket price in your trunk, or also the possibility of delivery at your home (very appreciated service). This Intermarket Contact must be the one of rare of this range of shop to have such a service. The shop will be perfect for fast races, more especially as one finds there an anthology of the products of the rich local quercy.

The Château du Clau, one of the only apple producers in the department to press its own juice, has been part of a family history since 1898. Today it is Etienne, the last of this fine lineage who is at the head of the estate. His family has passed on from generation to generation a passion for high quality fruit juice. In the bottles of apple juice from the Château du Clau, we rediscover the taste of 100% natural fruit. Like great wines, the natural and sparkling fruit juices are elaborated in the cellars of the estate.

All year long the city of Moissac organizes an important farmer's market gathered around the covered market hall. The quality of the producers and the freshness of the products offered such as fresh fruits and vegetables, original products, cheeses and various products from our region, in a very Occitan atmosphere! Organized periodically by the "Petit Boi" association and the "Producers of the Moissagai Basin", on Saturdays and Sundays during the weekly market on the Place des Récollets, the themed markets highlight seasonal products.

In the 70's, the Romain family took over this very old estate, ripped out the hybrids and replanted with more noble grape varieties. The appellation Vins de Pays des Coteaux et Terrasses de Montauban was born. For more than twenty years, the sons Philippe and Thierry have been at the helm of this beautiful 70-hectare vineyard, and offer a very complete range of wines. Generous reds, very respectable whites. Rosés too, like the Syrah rosé which won a silver medal and the Mas des Anges rosé, gold medal at the Mondial du Rosé.

A magnificent farm whose success can be praised: to impose a cheese, the "tome du Ramier" from a region which, a priori, is not frankly one of the most cheesy, it was not a foregone conclusion. This is what the Maraval family has achieved, with a herd of 110 milkmaids and a magnificent high-tech production tool. The cows themselves choose the milking time with a self-service system. Today, the daughters Edith and Hélène have taken over the farm. The shop offers ripened cheeses and fresh products.

A large general market is held all year round in the town centre of Caussade. It is known and recognized by all the inhabitants and has been attracting a crowd of local buyers for decades. The Caussade market is a real institution. It remains one of the most authentic markets in the region. You will find the delicate flavours of the South-West, from the black chicken of Caussade to the fattened duck, not forgetting the nuts and other fruits and vegetables. You will find a plethora of producers and seasonal products.

On Wednesdays, the market is more confidential, with only local fruit and vegetable producers. On Saturdays, it is the most important and most diversified market. It remains traditional with once again many local producers, a good majority of whom offer organic products, but it has a slightly fair spirit with non-food products as well. You will be able to buy fancy or designer jewellery, straw hats, various clothes and even flowers and plants

This family canning business founded in 1888, a real institution in Beaumont de Lomagne, has managed to keep its traditional character intact while negotiating development and diversification. Micouleau's top-of-the-range products are a real gem of Gascon gastronomy: duck terrines, cassoulets, confits, foies gras, products that have regularly won medals at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris since 2009... The best thing to do is to buy them in the shop, for the atmosphere and the ambiance!

Oc'Ale beers were born in Lafrançaise in 1998. It is one of the oldest breweries in the Midi-Pyrénées region. The brewery produces fairly classic, old-fashioned beers in the pure tradition of top-fermented beers. The first brews produce two beers: a very smooth white and a rather malty black. A blonde and an amber follow. New beers have arrived, including an IPA and now a range of seven beers. You can visit the factory by prior appointment. The welcome is friendly and very educational.

Le Panier des Saveurs is located not far from the centre of the medieval village of Lauzerte. This very practical grocery store offers many local products: fruits and vegetables of the region in priority, according to the seasons, of course, but also preserves, wines, fruit juices, dried fruits, jams, fresh pasta and quality teas... not to mention the dairy department. You will be able to buy a wide range of gourmet products. Don't miss the baskets of fresh and dried fruit to offer as gifts to all lovers of good products.

The Larroque canning factory is an institution as well known as the Ingres museum. Specialising in the production of preserved duck fat, the 180 m² shop is attached to the workshops where the palmipeds of 25 regional producers are processed. Here, handmade products and traceability are the signature. Since 1980, its know-how has been recognised, and in view of this success, the range has been extended: home-made charcuterie, Label Rouge smoked salmon from Scotland, pork, ready-made meals, but always with the same high standards, regional products made on the spot.

"Organic, white and red" is the motto, and we almost feel like adding "rosé"! A small, colourful cellar in the town centre run by Simon Delpérié, a young enthusiast. The emphasis is on the wonderful wines of the neighbouring Languedoc region, produced by organic farmers. Of course, you can also find all the Gallic terroirs. The ideal is to let yourself be tempted by a tasting on the barrels placed on the pavement of the street. The shop has moved a few dozen meters to more spacious premises, but still in the rue du Greffe.

Michel Labat is a talented pastry chef, renowned. He has launched a patented product under the label "Fagot Valencien". A delight not to be missed, consisting of six bundles of ganache resting on a base of white chocolate. Saturdays are now "pastry day" at the shop, with a fine selection of pastries and desserts. The products in the range are of course sold in the shop, but also available by mail order, as well as at the shop in Agen in the neighbouring Lot-et-Garonne.

Very proud of its culture, this union is working for the recognition of this heritage! The Chasselas de Moissac is now listed in the "national inventory of intangible cultural heritage". Find all the good addresses and the best advice for this grape, the first fresh fruit to have obtained this supreme consecration. Chasselas de Moissac is produced in a delimited area of 750 ha, in the north of the Tarn-et-Garonne and the south of the Lot department.

This small shop, well stocked and presented, is organised around its flagship product, l'Emoustilleur, an original product made from chasselas and muscatel. Claudine and Gilbert, friendly farmers who guarantee the quality of the product, also offer chasselas juice, "confiotes", grape sparkling wine, but also other local products such as honey, gingerbread, nougat, sweets, crockery, confits, duck gizzards and duck breasts, seasonal fruit, brandies and wines.
