NEW! Green Circle™ chicken is available exclusively at D’Artagnan. This heritage-breed, free-range chicken is certified humane by Humane Farm Animal Care, raised without antibiotics or hormones for twice the time of an average bird, and fed actual vegetables collected from commercial kitchens and farmers markets, along with grains. Chefs love this chicken for its unique, old-fashioned, real chicken flavor – which you can now enjoy at home.
Cooking Methods: Roast, Rotisserie, Slow-Cook, Barbecue, Smoke
Cooking Tips: Our Green Circle heritage chicken can be cooked whole, spatchcocked, or cut into parts. Butter or duck fat rubbed all over the outside helps crisp and brown the skin. If roasting whole, try stuffing the cavity with aromatics like lemon, onion, or herbs. Green Circle chicken is cooked when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast and thigh registers 165 degrees F and juices run clear. Chicken heads and feet make an excellent addition to homemade chicken stock and will not only add a ton of flavor but also healthy gelatin and collagen.

Ventrèche, or French pancetta, is pork belly rolled and cured with salt, pepper, and garlic. This traditional pork product is a vital ingredient in cassoulet, and when cubed or sliced brings rich porky flavor to pasta, soup, eggs, stew, and vegetables.
Cooking Methods: Sauté, Pan-Fry, Braise, Stew
Cooking Tips: Use our ventrèche as you would pancetta. Cut into lardons and sauté then toss into salads, pastas, egg dishes, or casseroles. Use as a base for a braise or slice paper thin to bard a roast. Add a large chunk of whole ventrèche to stock while cooking dried beans, soups, or stews.
Our organic mushroom mix is a chef favorite. The mushrooms are cultivated on a natural substrate of corn husks and oak chips, in pristine and ideal conditions. The variety pack offers a taste of four different mushrooms, which can be cooked together, or enjoyed individually.
Cooking Methods: Sauté, Pan-Roast, Roast, Stew, Braise, Poach, cook en Papillotte
Cooking Tips: After opening, store any unused mushrooms in a brown paper bag. Keeping the mushrooms in clusters will keep them fresher longer. Washing our cultivated mushrooms is not necessary and will change the texture. Simply trim the very bottoms and they are ready for use in your favorite recipes. Our Chef's Mix mushrooms can be used in place of button mushrooms and make an elegant addition to roast meats, poultry, and seafood dishes, bisques, sauces, and stir-fries.

Our duck and veal demi-glace is made all-naturally with a traditional recipe using duck and veal bones, aromatic vegetables, water, and wine, then slow-cooked for hours to concentrate the flavors. Demi-glace adds body and richness to sauces and is a freezer staple for both pro chefs and home cooks.
Cooking Tips: Use demi-glace as a base for meat sauces, stocks, soups, and braises. For a delicious pan sauce in minutes, sweat some chopped shallots in pan-drippings, add fresh herbs and deglaze with demi-glace. Add a small knob of black truffle butter to finish. Mix one container of demi-glace in 2 cups of water and use in place of beef, lamb, or veal stock in your favorite recipes.
