Over the past 133 years, our cajun products have gained global recognition and for tens of thousands of folks around the world, the Bourgeois Cajun Lady Logo is a symbol of HOME. Today, the 4th Generation Butchers sit at the 9ft maple block with loyal customers to discuss the adventures, skills, and passions that guide each of their legacies.
Unlike in Lester’s day, the hog’s heads are no longer used. Our hogshead cheese is made from bone-in pork roasts, onions, green onions, parsley, and Bourgeois seasoning. We don’t add any gelatin. The bone-in pork, once simmered down, provides the necessary gelling effect. Head cheese is usually served cold. For parties it is often served with crackers or for breakfast, it is served on toast or with grits.
