Henaff - Countryside Pork Pate 90g

Hénaff was founded in 1907 by Jean Hénaff, a farmer who built a vegetable cannery in Pouldreuzic, a village in the Pays Bigouden of southwestern Brittany, to bring prosperity to his community. In 1915 he created a pork pâté sold in small blue and yellow tins that became a Breton icon and a longtime staple aboard French Navy ships. Still family owned and now led by the founder’s great-grandson, Loïc Hénaff, the company holds France’s Living Heritage Company distinction for its craftsmanship.

This pâté de campagne draws on a traditional Breton country pâté known locally as fourmaj rouz. Hénaff takes pride in local sourcing, using pork from farms within about 150 kilometers of its Pouldreuzic workshop and processing the animals in its own small slaughterhouse on site. The recipe combines pork with pork liver, onions, egg white, salt, and spices, and the meat is left coarsely textured in true country style. It is fully cooked and packed in a jar, ready to serve.

The flavor is hearty and rustic, with savory pork balanced by the earthy depth of liver. Mellow onion sweetness and warm spice notes round out each bite, and the chunky, rough-cut texture delivers the satisfying character of a classic French farmhouse pâté.
