A Hollywood icon in love with a gem of the French soil
In the Eva Longoria Documentary series: Searching for France, broadcast on CNN, Eva Longoria explores the French regions through what they have more precious: their culinary traditions, their craftsmen and their exceptional products.
Among the discoveries that have particularly caught its attention figure the famous chicken of Bresse, a real emblem of the French gastronomic heritage.
A meeting that perfectly illustrates what makes the singularity of our cuisine: an intimate link between the terroir, the human know-how and the quality requirement.
Bresse chicken, a unique reference to the world
Nicknamed the "Queen of Poultry" for a long time, the Bresse chicken occupies a place apart in the world of gastronomy. In 1957, he became the first poultry in the world to obtain an appellation of controlled origin (AOC), now recognized by a European AOP. A rare distinction, a reflection of an agricultural heritage transmitted for generations.
Poultry grow outdoors, in an environment where time, space and respect for tradition remain essential. Each breeder perpetuates a demanding know-how that contributes to the international fame of the Bresse.
Through the amazed look of Eva Longoria, it is a whole French gastronomic heritage that is illustrated today: that of a sector of excellence where tradition, territory and passion continue to shine the art of living in French.
