Chef Gerard's Pork Rillette

Malama Farms in Haiku raises these gorgeous tropical fruit fed Bershire pigs.  So what does Gerard's French Restaurant in Lahaina and Malama Farms have in common!  The love of a big fat well fed Bershire pig! Gerard selects his own pig; and we do mean piggy wiggly while it's still squirming and squealing.  He later, after blessing this Godly being, reduces the whole pig to the finest charcuterie one can imagine!

Gerard's reputation alone sells these products..He has owend and

chefed in his fine French restaurant in Lahaina at the Plantation Inn
in the heart of Lahaina for over 30 years.

Pate of pork and pork liver...this country style pate will melt your heart!

Rillette: If you like Kalua pork, this will rock your world! The top
is sealed with rendered pork fat. This is to keep the product from
turning gray with oxidation,which it will still taste wonderful, just
not as pretty, pork pink! Pork belly reduced in a stock of leeks,
carrots, onions, garlic and parsley. The whole pig is simmered and
reduced in this fashion.
