It is a rare ingredient that is caught using natural methods without the use of traps, and delivered directly from masters in an exquisite ripening state that matches the condition of the individual. A dish that overturns the concept of gibier, with a balance of fat and lean meat that gives a sense of purity, and a deep, nutritious flavor.
