Local produce
The Périgord region is renowned for its fine produce and gastronomy.
In Bergerac, it’s at the various markets that the excellence of good food comes to the fore. Many producers are present, offering dried duck breast, confits, rillettes, goose or duck grattons…
Truffles are also present, as is Enchaud du Périgord, a specialty of pork roasted in goose fat. For cheese, focus on Cabécou, a small cheese made from raw goat’s milk.
And on the dessert side, the stars are the Noix du Périgord cake (PDO) and (all) the desserts based around the Fraise du Périgord (IGP). Of course, market gardeners, honey producers and other artisan bakers are also on hand, many of whom have gone organic.
