Three Little Pigs Rillettes de Canard — Duck Rillettes
Rillettes de Canard from Three Little Pigs is a confit-style duck spread from France, where duck meat is slow-cooked in its own fat until it shreds into a soft, savory paste. Rich and deeply meaty, with the concentrated character of duck confit, it spreads easily across warm toast or a torn French baguette and holds its own on any charcuterie board. Where a smooth duck mousse is silky and delicate, rillettes is rustic and shreddy — you can see the strands of meat. Serve it at room temperature so it softens fully, with cornichons and grainy mustard alongside, and pair it with a full-bodied, fruit-forward red or a light, dry white. A little goes a long way. Available as a single unit or by the case.

Three Little Pigs Rillettes de Canard — duck rillettes — is a classic French charcuterie spread made in France. Duck meat is slow-cooked confit-style in its own fat until it turns meltingly tender, then shredded and seasoned into a soft, spreadable paste. That slow cook is what defines rillettes: the meat and fat come together into something richer and more savory than any quick pâté.
The flavor is deep and rich, with the concentrated, roasted character of duck confit in a form you can spread with a knife. Serve it at room temperature so it softens fully, then spread it thickly over warm toast or a torn baguette. Where a smooth duck mousse is silky and delicate, rillettes is rustic and shreddy — you can see and feel the strands of meat. A little goes a long way.

About Three Little Pigs
Three Little Pigs (Les Trois Petits Cochons) has made French pâtés, mousses, and confit-style spreads in small batches since 1975. The name is French for "the three little pigs," and the company earned its reputation on exactly this kind of traditional, all-natural charcuterie.
Rillettes is one of the oldest ways of preserving meat in France — slow cooking in fat was a preservation method long before it was a delicacy.
What are duck rillettes?
Duck rillettes are a French spread made by slow-cooking duck in its own fat, confit-style, then shredding the meat into a soft, savory paste. It is spread on bread rather than sliced.
How is it different from a duck mousse or pâté?
Rillettes is rustic and shreddy, with visible strands of meat, while a mousse is whipped smooth and a pâté is usually a firmer, sliceable loaf. Rillettes has the pulled, confit-like texture.
How should I serve and store it?
Serve it at room temperature so it spreads easily, on warm toast or baguette. Keep it refrigerated, and once opened, cover the surface and use within about 5 to 7 days.
