Kouign Bigouden Pâté Hénaff has been around since 1915! Its simple pork-based recipe, inimitable taste and practical format have made it famous in France and beyond. Since then, it has been passed down through the generations with a recipe that has remained unchanged.
In the meantime, the company has developed a host of other products, including Hénaff sausages and terrines, as well as a number of vegetarian recipes. The shop in Pouldreuzic is waiting for you!

Langoustines - gastronomy Caught off the coast of Bigouden, these delicious shellfish are sure to turn heads and tantalise the taste buds! As soon as they come out of the ocean, they can be cooked in boiling water and enjoyed with a good mayonnaise or buttered bread.
They are best eaten between May and October to avoid disturbing them during their breeding season.
This little puffed-up pancake is made from a recipe very similar to pancakes, with added yeast to give it a brioche-like, fluffy texture.
You can only find them in Pays Bigouden!
Enjoy them with butter, sugar, caramel, chocolate, jam or simply plain, to savour their unique taste.

Canned fishCanning is a craft that originated in Southern Brittany in the 1800s and has developed into an entire industry. Today, the region’s canning factories continue to innovate with ever tastier recipes. Mackerel, sardines, tuna and now seaweed are cooked and processed in the region’s various food-processing sites, then put into tin cans ready for your picnics and aperitifs.
They can be eaten on bread or in hot dishes. It’s also the perfect souvenir to take with you, to bring back a little taste of Brittany in your luggage.
Seaweed contains a large quantity of trace elements.
In Brittany, many types of seaweed are close at hand, so all you have to do is bend down to pick them. Although there are no seaweeds that are toxic to the body, certain rules must be observed when harvesting. First of all, do not pull up the seaweed, but cut it off at the base. Note that spring is the best time to harvest, as the shoots are tender and young.
Some varieties are delicious and easy to cook, such as Himanthalia elongata, nicknamed ‘sea beans’. Sauté in a pan with a little butter and garlic.
If you don’t feel like picking seaweed, you can buy it ready-prepared in the shops.
