Maison Louis stands out through its commitment to the quality and authenticity of its products. Among the gastronomic treasures on offer, products bearing the Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) label hold a place of honour.
This label guarantees not only the geographical origin of the products but also their manufacturing method, respecting strict criteria. Here is an overview of the IGP products that can be discovered at Maison Louis.
The IGP label: a guarantee of authenticity
Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) is an official quality mark that certifies that products originate from a specific region and that their quality is linked to this origin. This label allows consumers to identify authentic products, manufactured according to traditional expertise. To obtain this certification, producers must comply with precise specifications, thus ensuring the traceability and quality of products.
Foie gras IGP from the Sud-Ouest: a preserved tradition
Foie gras from the Sud-Ouest is one of the flagship products of Maison Louis. Labelled IGP, this Foie gras is made from ducks reared in accordance with local traditions. The ducks are fed with cereals produced in the region, thus contributing to the exceptional quality of the Foie gras. This emblematic product is distinguished by its melting texture and its refined taste, making each tasting an exceptional moment.
IGP cured meats: ancestral expertise
South-West gastronomy also offers a range of IGP-labelled cured meats. These products, such as Jambon de Bayonne and Toulouse sausage, are manufactured according to traditional methods, passed down from generation to generation. Jambon de Bayonne, for example, is salted with salt from Salies-de-Béarn and aged for several months, thus developing unique aromas and a delicate texture. Toulouse sausage, meanwhile, is prepared with quality meats, coarsely chopped to preserve their authentic flavour.
IGP cheeses: a wealth of flavours
IGP cheeses reflect French terroir and its gastronomic heritage. Among them, the famous Roquefort, aged in the natural caves of the region of the same name, offers a palette of intense and complex flavours. Ossau-Iraty sheep’s cheese, produced in the Pyrenees, is also a must-try. This raw-milk, pressed, uncooked-curd cheese reveals delicate aromas of hazelnut and raw milk, delighting cheese lovers.
The rigour of IGP certification
Obtaining IGP certification is no small matter. Maison Louis suppliers must meet strict production and processing criteria. Every stage, from rearing to manufacturing, is monitored to ensure constant and impeccable quality. This label is a true recognition of artisanal expertise and producers’ commitment to practices that respect the environment and local traditions.
