When you visit the local markets, you’ll find an abundance of walnuts, used in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as in the form of artisanalwalnut oil, which adds intense flavor to salads and traditional dishes. Cabécous, small mature goat’s cheeses, are also delicious, often served at the end of a meal with a little local honey. On the sweet side, Périgord walnut cake and pastis, a soft pastry with orange blossom, offer the perfect end to Périgourdine meals.
To accompany these dishes, Bergerac and Monbazillac wines, with their sweet, fruity notes, are ideal with foie gras or desserts. Last but not least, for lovers of digestives, Périgord walnut liqueur is a local specialty that perfectly rounds off a richly flavored meal.
