Diepholz

B tier

Diepholz is a white German goose from Lower Saxony, lighter and more refined than Embden giants, historically valued for elegant table presentation and good all-purpose meat. Fat cover is present but not overwhelming; flavour is clean and festive. Roast for smaller German holiday tables; serve with kale (Grünkohl) traditions or apple stuffing. Diepholz suits cooks who find Toulouse too heavy yet still want authentic European goose character.

Also known as: Diepholzer Gans, Diepholz goose
