About the Producer

SCHILTZ FOODS

A capon is a castrated rooster. Capons are considered by many people to be a boutique and old fashioned sort of food, and they tend to have more tender, flavorful flesh as well as a higher fat content. The markedly different flavor profile of a capon is distinctive to consumers once they taste it, especially when the capon has been conscientiously raised. Since most poultry is mass produced commercially, it can be difficult to find a capon unless a consumer has access to Exotic Meat market, like us. Experimenting with capon is considered to be well worth the effort by some.

Can you still get capons?

Unfortunately, in the United States today, it may be rare to see capon on a dinner menu or in the grocery store. This poultry was once considered a luxury, and during the early part of the twentieth century, the capon was the chosen bird for Christmas feasts, especially for the wealthy.

What is the difference between a capon and a chicken?

A capon is a male chicken that is gelded, or castrated, at a young age, and then fed a rich diet of milk or porridge. Larger than a chicken, a bit smaller than a turkey, but more flavorful than either, capons are full breasted with tender, juicy, flavorful meat that is well suited to roasting.

Is capon better than chicken?

Capon meat is also more moist, tender and flavorful than that of a cockerel or a hen, which is due not only to the hormonal differences during the capon's development but also because capons are not as active as roosters, which makes their meat more tender and fatty.
