Description
Description
Crafted in small batches from 100% New Zealand pork, this pork pâté has a hearty texture and rich, full-bodied flavour with added spices, made using traditional techniques from a cherished French family recipe.
Serve on crusty bread with freshly cracked pepper accompanied by cornichons.
Gluten free, additive free, preservative free, nitrate free, and dairy free.
With its long shelf life, simply store in a cool, dry, dark place. Like fine wine, it improves with age—just as French families have long enjoyed last year’s preserves at their table.

Maison Aotearoa was born from a journey that began in the south-west of France; initially for a one-year rugby contract, which blossomed into 14 years of immersion in French culinary tradition. After retiring from professional rugby, Mike completed specialist training at L’Université de Bayonne in charcuterie techniques, earned a place in the prestigious Confrérie du Jambon de Bayonne (as the only foreigner), and worked closely with French artisans with over 40 years of expertise. Upon returning to New Zealand with wife, Julie, they carried the “French-Kiwi fusion” forward, bringing authentic, traditional French meat-preservation methods to Aotearoa’s celebrated quality of local ingredients.
Guided by the philosophy “Tout est bon dans le cochon” (“waste not, want not”), Maison Aotearoa embraces a commitment to natural, additive-free charcuterie; no nitrates, no preservatives, no additives. They craft high-end gourmet products using locally sourced New Zealand meats and traditional French techniques, combining artisan authenticity with clean, simple ingredients.
