Pizza is a very popular dish in Quebec. There are thousands of places that offer it in a multitude of flavors.
Despite this, we were still able to surprise our customers with an exceptional product: goose pizza.
You've never tasted it? It's not surprising because we are the only ones to offer it in North America!
As a Quebec goose production, we offer high quality goose products. We are mainly known for our terrines and rillettes but we wanted to go further.
This is why a few months ago, our chef decided to create a goose pizza to share with the people of Montérégie and beyond.
More than just goose production
Our mission is to position ourselves as pioneers in the creation of premium quality goose-based products that are authentic, ethical and in harmony with nature, right here in Quebec.
We are committed to integrating Quebec goose into gastronomy through products of exceptional quality, designed in harmony with nature.
The origin of our goose pizza
As mentioned above, we wanted to expand our range of goose products.
For several years, we had a product base:
- Goose rillettes
- Goose terrines
- Goose cold cuts
- Confit goose legs
- Goose drumsticks
- Gizzards
- Duck eggs
But we wanted to launch a product known to all to facilitate this gastronomic discovery of the Quebec goose.
The idea of a goose pizza quickly became obvious, especially when we saw that it was the only one in North America (and one of the few in the world!)
Worldwide, they can be found in Iceland and Asia, which seemed a bit far to us to enjoy such a good dish!
Unlike traditional pizzas, goose pizza offers a rich and refined taste experience, ideal for food lovers.
The ingredients of our goose pizza
Each ingredient used in the goose pizza is selected for its freshness and quality.
This not only ensures exceptional taste but also optimal nutritional benefits, making this pizza both a delicious and healthy choice.
The dough is made with organic flour from Charlevoix, fermented for more than 48 hours for greater lightness.
Our pizza is available at the gîte to eat on site but also frozen to enjoy at home.
Whichever option you choose, it is offered without preservatives.
Comparison with duck pizza
Although not as popular as the classic flavors, duck pizza is however more known and consumed than goose pizza.
If you have ever tasted it, you will find similarities between the flavors of duck and goose, but there are still differences to note.
Goose meat has a more subtle and delicate flavor.
Its texture is more tender than that of duck.
Beyond that, you will have a unique flavor from the complete recipe developed for this goose pizza.
This isn't just a duck pizza recipe where we've replaced it with goose. It's a real balance of different flavors that work perfectly together to arrive at a cohesive and delicious dish.
Did we try dozens of recipes before arriving at this goose pizza recipe?
Oh yes!
Where to enjoy a goose pizza in Quebec?
As stated above, we are the only ones offering goose pizza in North America so places to enjoy it are limited.
Our pizza is therefore available exclusively at Au Gîte des Oies in Roxton-Falls!
Obviously, you can come and enjoy a pizza by going to the gîte to take advantage of our catering service in order to eat it straight out of the oven, piping hot.
Otherwise, you can also come and pick it up frozen at our on-site store to prepare it in the comfort of your own home!
