What are pigeons?

The chicks, young pigeons of about four weeks, have been bred since time immemorial in the central area of ​​the Duero basin, in the fields of León, Valladolid, Zamora or Palencia. They have been part of the traditional recipe book and in the last decades they have been introduced in the kitchens of restaurants. The pigeon meat is pink, tender and with an intense flavor, and its traditional recipe is pickled, as was done in the past to preserve the product in pantries during the winter months.
