Delpeyrat
Also known as: Maison Delpeyrat, Delpeyrat SAS, Delpeyra (misspelling)
Maison Delpeyrat is a French foie gras house founded in 1890 by Pierre Delpeyrat at Sarlat (Périgord); owned since 1998 by the Maïsadour cooperative; also dried duck magret and confits.
Maison Delpeyrat is a French foie gras house founded in 1890 by Pierre Delpeyrat at Sarlat, in the Périgord. Since 1998 it has belonged to the Maïsadour agricultural cooperative of the Landes. Beyond foie gras it sells dried duck magret and confits, and its own timeline records Jambon de Bayonne from 2008.
Albert Carrier, a son-in-law, continued the business in 1945, and in 1970 the company bought Périgord brands. Louis Dreyfus sold it to Maïsadour in 1998. Jambon de Bayonne followed in 2008, a first smoked salmon in 2011 (a different product group), and in 2019 the house became Maison Delpeyrat with a new identity. A modernisation project at the Gibret site in the Landes runs for 2024–2026.
Range: foie gras in blocs, entier, cuisson torchon and raw, dried and smoked duck magret in a limited edition, and confits. Named lines include Cuvée Gourmande, Instants Précieux, Foie Gras Michel Sarran, Excellence, Éleveurs Engagés, Jour de Fêtes and Héritage 1890. The producer pages seen carry no PDO or PGI statement.
Labeyrie, the other foie gras name on this site, also sells Iberian ham; Delpeyrat stays closer to duck. Hénaff works in pork pâté, so the three barely overlap on a shelf.
The pack carries «Maison Delpeyrat», the name used since 2019, with the statements «Filière 100 % française» and «sans conservateurs». No pack sizes are given on the producer pages checked, so the wording is the guide.
