Located in: Meats/Seafood, Paté

Les Trois Petits Cochons started in 1975 as a small charcuterie in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, where founders Alain Sinturel and Jean Pierre Pradié cooked and offered pâtés and other French specialties to the neighborhood gourmets. They soon received rave reviews by such notables as Craig Clairborne, Mimi Sheraton, James Beard, and others. Once word got out, they began making pâtés for other restaurants around Manhattan. By 1990, demand forced them to expand their operation. Today, they make their pâtés in their kitchen, House of Bricks, located in Wilkes Barre, PA. Les Trois Petits Cochons is recognized for its excellence as a leader in the specialty food business and industry it helped to create. They use all-natural, high quality ingredients, and craft small, handmade batches.

Paté de Campagne is the traditional paté of France. Coarsely ground pork meat and pork liver are spiced with onions, garlic, parsley, bay leaves and thyme. The mixture is then slowly cooked in the traditional way. The result: a culinary delight.
Paté au Poivre Noir is a spicy country style paté sprinkled with black peppercorns and flavored with a touch of brandy.

Varieties sold separately.

Comments about Les Trois Petits Cochons Pates:

IT'S SCARY TO BUY PATE ONLINE. But don't be afraid of these beauties. They came in two days packed beautifully in a keep-cool container and yes, they were still cool. Upon opening the aroma was lovely, no odd smells. Upon knifing into each loaf, there was a dense and meaty feel, and upon plating, you could see the quality. This is MEAT not fat, and the gel is beyond delicious, heavenly. The scent, the taste, the body, all rank high. I've had homemade pate that was not this good. I give it four stars because I would have enjoyed more fat in the mix, but that is very subjective as most people would NOT want more fat. An amazing find and I will order more from this vendor and of course, from IGourmet! Jennifer Trump Ocean Park Washington

Comments about Les Trois Petits Cochons Pates:

This product is the best of the commercially produced Pates that I have ever had. It was shipped in very fresh condition. I have purchased Tois Conchon products in gourmet food stores but it has been on the shelf too long. That is not a problem with I Gourmet

basic, but satisfying

By el queson from glendale, az on 2/23/2007

Pros:

Good Value

Best Uses:

Canape, Sandwich, Snack

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Les Trois Petits Cochons Pates:

While not exceptional, relatively inexpensive and better than most supermarket pates. Tasty enough to keep on hand for a toothsome nibble, perk up a pack-along sandwich, or present at informal gatherings, but probably not quite the thing to dazzle your more finicky friends.

An entertainer's delight!

By Gen the chef from Florida on 2/22/2007

With Crackers, With Vegetables

CHUNKY

By Hunts

from Portland, Oregon on 2/22/2007

Comments about Les Trois Petits Cochons Pates:

Respectfully, I would not purchase again. I do not know what I was expecting other than a smooth texture, more melow pate. The word "chunky" comes to mind. Wanted to use a fork rather than a knife.

Les Trois

By Martha

Pros:

Good Value, High Quality

Comments about Les Trois Petits Cochons Pates:

I was surprised by the consistency, this is not a spreadable pate that I was thinking about. But my husband LOVES liver and devoured this.
