FOOD AND DRINK: CAHORS WINE has been classified "APPELATION D'ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE" since 1971. It is recognisable by its deep to very deep brilliant red colour, tending towards black in some vintages. It is a powerful wine, and full in the mouth. On ageing it becomes refined and velvety, giving off subtle, complex aromas. GOOSE AND DUCK Form the basis of famous products such as foie gras, confit, breast fillets, stuffed neck or preserved gizzards. ROCAMADOUR A little goat's cheese which can be enjoyed young, creamy, dry, hot with salad, on a slice of walnut bread, or with a drizzle of honey. PERIGORD WALNUTS Produce walnut oil and walnut liqueur one of the traditional local spirits as well as plum and ratafia. THE BLACK TRUFFLE The Lot has the right conditions to develop "Tuber melanosporum" : the presence of a "truffle tree" (eg oak or hazelnut), lime rich land and a climate with Mediterranean influence. The Lot is one of the major truffle producing areas of France. Don't miss the Lalbenque truffle market, from November to March. QUERCY FARM LAMB (label rouge) Caussenarde breed in the Lot, is raised in the traditional way of the wild Causses, fed on its mother's milk, hay and cereals. QUERCY MELONS Are grown on the south-facing hillsides of southern Quercy which are perfect for the production of this fruit, with its orange coloured, tender, juicy, sweet and very perfumed flesh. QUERCY SAFFRON Grown in the Lot since the Middle Ages, has recently had a revival. Saffron growers harvest these violet-coloured flowers, whose pistils are commonly called « red gold », from October to November.
