Gourmet products local specialties and wines Limousin

The Brûlerie Corrézienne is a real institution in the department. From its real name Cafés Bogota, the brand was created in 1930. With four shops in the region, the Brûlerie Corrézienne offers a wide choice of daily roasted wines without additives in the workshop, just a stone's throw away from the shops. During the holidays, you can even get a Christmas coffee. The year 2021 brought two new creations: the Mokaverde, very powerful, and the Aromexpert, noble and fruity. Also a range of local specialities and delicatessen.

This downtown boutique offers a beautiful setting for Pascal Prette's sublime chocolates. Here you will find retail chocolate ballotins and candies, creative pyramids made of cocoa, walnut shortbread and La Cendrée, the house speciality, a mixture of chocolate, nuts, hazelnuts, raisins, candied oranges, pistachios... Pascal Prette makes his own liqueur and his lemon and orange peels and pralines contain 70% fruit! The workshop can be visited on request and courses around the art of chocolate making can be scheduled.

Gourmet corrézien specialises in duck and goose foie gras and its derivatives, such as neck stuffed with foie gras and fruit stuffed with foie gras. As an accompaniment, a whole range of jams: black cherries, onions, peppers? But also a selection of French wines particularly adapted to foie gras. And of course mushrooms, fresh or frozen Perigord truffles, ceps and dried morels. Gourmet Corrézien is present on the markets of Tulle on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and Brive on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

The showcase with its chocolate sculptures gives an insight into the talent of Eric Lamy, a master craftsman, often rewarded. From the threshold of the shop a dry chocolate aroma takes you! In radius, bogeyman, hailing, gold pucks, chocolates with multiple flavours (35 varieties) try you. Mary tells you all the wonders her husband develops under your greedy eyes. It is in front of visitors that Eric flows, mould, works, shapes chocolate, always in search of new flavours.

Facing the castles of Curemonte, the cows and dairy goats are fed mainly with fodder produced on the farm. The cheeses are made from raw milk, in the traditional way. Here are some examples of cow's milk products: caillade, faisselle, crème fraîche, plain yoghurt, fruit yoghurt (apricot/red fruit), ripened cheese (dry, semi-dry, creamy), and goat's milk products: fresh goat's milk, Limousin leaf, ash heart...

A traditional farm in Basse-Corrèze specialising in the breeding of Limousin cattle, the Mas farm is now dedicated to the production of organic Perigord nuts. The Dufour family has chosen to plant three varieties of walnut trees, as each one has its advantages: the Corne is the oldest variety with a delicious taste, the Franquette is another old variety, with a delicate flavour perfect for pastries and the Lara is a recent variety, delicious as a fresh walnut.

This distillery has been created by Henri Bellet in 1922. The shop, close to the distillery, seduces by its scents of plants and fruits. All the liqueurs made from macerated plants (verbena, thyme, génépi...) by the house are there, starting with the guignolet Bellet, the first creation, followed by the specialities "la châtaigne royale", a liqueur made by infusion of chestnuts, and the fruity aperitifs, such as "le Bell'pêche", "la myrtille". Without forgetting the liqueurs made from génépi and gentian, nor the green pastis, a mixture of aniseed and verbena to be tasted with 4 to 5 times its volume of water added. The liqueurs are presented in bottles with varied and original shapes. So many gift ideas.

Since 2015, after being put up for sale, it is a local child, Maud Pressigout, who is taking over the business by performing a real professional pirouette. Formerly a childcare worker at the mother and child hospital in Limoges, she was accompanied by the master of beer. The artisanal approach is still at the heart of the production, the labels are still in French and Occitan, the bottles are sold at the farm and on the markets. But Maud also has her dreams: to develop the production and to propose recipes based on beer.

An orchard over fifty years old, taken over ten years ago by Serge Malamas. Apples are grown here: Belchar, Jonagold, Rubinette and since 2014 Juliet (organic), of which he is the only producer in the region, as well as pears and cherries. All this is done in an eco-responsible way, that is to say, with concern for the environment, in-depth knowledge of the terroir and constant attention to detail. Sales are made at the boutique or at the pick-your-own (reservation required for cherries).

Thocaven has been a reference for regional products from Quercy since 1983. City dwellers do not necessarily need to buy their supplies from the farm since it is the farm that comes to them. Raised in the wild, the ducks are fed with cereals and force-fed with grain corn in the purest tradition. On site or to order, you will find foie gras, magret, foie gras tournedos, duck sausages, semi-cooked foie gras, figs, prunes, apricots stuffed with foie gras, aperitifs and local wines, spreads for aperitifs and much more. Sweet and savoury ideas ideal to compose beautiful gourmet baskets.

There is a small shop on the edge of the village, on the road to the church of "La Combe". Maurice and Francine Guionie sell the fruit of their production there. Their Limousin cow breeding farm is just below. They reserve to their visitors an adorable welcome. In addition to fruit and vegetable jams, their great speciality is dandelion! Their star products are the fermented drink and the aperitif with dandelion flowers, following a family and ancestral recipe kept secret. All the products are made by hand on the farm and have not undergone any chemical treatment. Their shortbread, crunchy and nut tarts will accompany your coffee deliciously. In summer, you will find them on the farmers' markets of the department's countries.

Every year, on Mondays in July and August from 17 p. m., the festive market of producers in the Country of M invites you to the Champ-de-Foire to discover the products of the Corrézien region.

At the bottom of the Dordogne Valley, this village is renowned for the dynamism of its fairs and markets. The market and the Champ-de-Mars and Marbot tickets are the rendez-vous of the Bellocois (1st and 3rd Friday of the month). Note the presence of non-food products and the sale of cattle on the days of fair. In the summer, the festive market of country producers takes place on Mondays from 17 a. m. in front of the Penitent Chapel. Tables and benches are located on the banks of the Dordogne to peacefully taste the specialities of Lower Corrèze, farm poultry, foie gras and Fraises strawberries among others.
