Rougié was founded as a gourmet shop in 1875 by Léonce Rougié in Cahors. The expanding business later moved to Sarlat, the capital of Périgord, France’s top gastronomic region.
During the 1950’s, Jean Rougié, Léonce’s son, started travelling the world to supply royal families, gastronomic restaurants and leading hotels.
Today, Rougié can be found in 120 countries around the world, available to Chefs and gourmets wherever they go. Ducks are farmed in France, Bulgaria, Canada and China.
Rougié is part of the Euralis Gastronomie group, the world's number one foie gras producer. Other brands include Palmex, Bizac and Montfort.
In 2007, Rougié opened The School of Foie Gras in Pau (France) where foie gras seminars and master classes are taught by celebrity Chefs, Michelin-starred chefs and Bocuse d’Or nominees. |
