« Bresse Poultry, a guarantee of origin that is unique in the world, representing a traditional skill »
Bresse poultry is an exceptional product. It is the result of a long tradition of poultry-rearing and
the care of crafts-men and –women, and brings a delicious taste to our tables at Christmas.
As Christmas approaches in the Bresse region each year, we hold the ‘Glorious Contests’, that is
four competitions which put the finest poultry ‘on stage’. It is a meeting place for poultry farmers, for
discerning enthusiasts, for restaurant owners keen to dazzle their clients, for local and regional big-wigs
who are proud of the tradition of quality which contributes to the gastronomic reputation of our
country.
The aims of the seminar are:
F to introduce the participants to the ‘Bresse Poultry’ product by describing it and working with it in
the Lycée de Bonneville
F to allow the participants to take part in the ‘Glorious Monterevel’ contest, both behind the scenes and
then as members of the audience.
