 Gascon capon, ash capon, virgin rooster, pullet or black hen from Astarrac Bigorre, these are some names of top-of-the-range poultry produced in the South of the Gers by Xavier Abadie, a local artisan. 
 Its poultry are reared exclusively for the end-of-year celebrations, in the  better life conditions. Healthily fed corn, wheat and soya on shady grounds, they are fattened with corn from the South-West for the finest flesh. 

 They benefit from an optimal maturation time of 5 to 7 months allowing them to be well "covered" with this famous famous good fat, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, close to olive oil.
