Le Pâté Hénaff, in its iconic blue tin, is doubtless Hénaff's signature påté and the one you should try first. We also carry pork liver pâté and pork rillettes (pork meat slowly cooked in pork fat). Spread on a slice of good, crusty bread. Add a few cornichons (crunchy, tiny gherkins). Et voilà, you got yourself a hearty snack!
