At the crossroads of the culinary traditions of southwestern France and Spain, Saint-Lary and the Aure Valley are rich in local specialties.

Porc Noir de Bigorre

1.

Classified AOP for Porc Noir de Bigorre and AOC for jambon Noir de Bigorre. This exceptional product comes from a rustic breed of pig that lives in semi-liberty in the undergrowth between the valley and the ski resort. At the foot of the mountains, the Noir de Bigorre pig travels in small herds to feed, taking advantage of a healthy diet based on the natural resources of its environment: grass, acorns, chestnuts. No GMOs.

Spit-roasted cake

2.

The gâteau à la broche is one of the symbols of the Pyrenees. Also known as Rocher des Pyrénées, this dessert is a cake traditionally served at notable events on farms in the Aure Valley. Its unusual shape derives from its conception: a conical spit must be turned by hand for many hours in front of a wood fire, while the dough is ladled out. It’s this method of baking that forms the “peaks” as the cake swells, and gives it such an exceptional taste.

Making the cake

La Garbure

3.

La Garbure is a dish that adapts to your desires: from main course to starter, the choice is yours! This peasant soup from the Vallée d’Aure is essentially composed of cabbage, chunks of vegetables and a piece of Porc Noir or a sleeve of duck.
