Goose galantine: An ancient recipe all the way from the times of royal courts

History, culture, luxury, parties ... these are some of the keywords that are hidden behind a slice of galantine. Forgotten in ancient cookbooks and revived only by a few housewives in Emilia Romagna, Marche and Lombardia, today the galantine comes back to regain the reputation that characterized it for centuries.

So what is hidden behind this delicious preparation? A rich mixture of meat, pork, and farmyard poultry, all the way to game, flavoured with spices, truffles, pistachios and liqueur wines well mixed. All of it well wrapped inside a natural skin case or a salami, cooked at low temperature for hours and drowned in a jelly , from which comes the name of the recipe.

And the goose? That bird isn’t historically known for this preparation , it was replaced by capons, free-range chickens and ducks. Only in the Lomellina area do we discover this curious recipe which is interpreted with goose meat, but it is a tradition to be preserved for the few gourmet people and cuisine experts.

Yet someone decided to revive this gastronomic history page and  to transform the noble Italian goose meat in a new tasty goose galantine which is suitable for the most demanding palates.
