Rural chickens
. .
Poultry has a primary role in the Mantuan cuisine. In fact, the broth in which “cappelletti” (a traditional local dish) are cooked must be made using hen meat or, even better, capon meat of high quality. By boiling this meat we obtain “lesso”, which can also go with with particular sauces, such as “salsa verde”, “mostarda”, “cren”, or “rafano”.
Fowl is high in proteins and important nutritional elements, while it is low in fats. So they can be numbered among the leanest kinds of meat, since they have the least content of cholesterol.
Some features allow to obtain natural, genuine and of high quality fowls. First of all, fowls are bred outdoors on wide green spaces. Secondly, they are fed with natural food.
Finally, their growing is slow, respects the natural speed and their growth is not stimulated artificially by using certain substances.
Like in the old days, chickens, guinea hens and a lot of other species of fowls still scratch about free on the Mantuan farms and farmhouses. Therefore, in our farms you will find the Mantuan rural chicken, a quality product which allows you to rediscover the dishes and tastes of the rural tradition.
