Description
Traditional Goose Rillettes 70g is the charcuterie insider’s pick — goose being the rarer, more characterful cousin of duck, with a rustic, gently gamey intensity that Gourmet Traveller singled out for praise back in 2019.
Comtesse du Barry cooks free-range goose slowly in its own fat with carrot, leek, celery and garlic, seasoned with thyme, bay, clove and nutmeg, then flakes the meat by hand. The texture lands tender and silky rather than heavy — old-school French home cooking, done to a turn.
Serving the good stuff
- Stir the tin lightly to wake the flavour before serving
- Spread thickly over toasted farmhouse bread
- Cornichons cut cleanly through the richness
- Serious spread, serious red — pour accordingly
The free-range difference
The goose here is free-range and it shows in the depth of flavour — this small preservative-free tin is where we send anyone who thinks they’ve already tried every French spread. A 140g jar awaits the converted.

Frequently asked questions
What do goose rillettes taste like?
Done to a turn, they are tender and smooth without being too fatty, with the gamey intensity that free-range goose brings. Still hand-flaked at Comtesse du Barry, they recall good home cooking.
What are rillettes, exactly?
Rillettes are a French preservation method similar to confit: meat is seasoned, then slow-cooked submerged in fat at a grandmotherly pace for 4 to 10 hours before being shredded. They are best served at room temperature, spread thickly on toasted bread.
What is the perfect goose rillettes sandwich?
Halve a farm bread baguette, spread generously with goose rillettes, then add two or three slices of boiled egg and the same of tomato, red onion and gherkin. Keep some cornichons handy to cut through the richness.
Have these rillettes been reviewed anywhere?
Gourmet Traveller magazine (October 2019) wrote that 'those who like things rustic will appreciate the gamey intensity free-range goose meat brings to the equation' — high praise from Australia's food bible.
How do I get the best flavour from the tin?
Stir the rillettes lightly before serving to reveal their full flavour. They are made without preservatives, so a slight surface oxidation is normal. Also available in a 140g glass jar.
