Choosing the right Gers foie gras for the holidays

Foie gras du sud ouest

The end of the year is slowly approaching, and with it the joyous prospect of the festive season! Whether it's a family meal, a festive dinner or a romantic evening, at Esprit Foie Gras we know how important these moments are. And we know how to make them memorable! Convinced that it's never too early to prepare a menu worthy of the name, we've put together a small selection of our foies gras and other duck products that you absolutely must have on your festive table.

Whole foie gras: a pure Gers product

Did you know that we have been awarded the Silver Medal 2023 for our whole foie gras? This distinction underlines the quality of our product. So we're delighted to be able to offer you a top-quality, award-winning whole foie gras! Available in a choice of packaging(130g, 180g or 300g), our whole duck foie gras from the Gers is of the highest quality. To preserve its full flavor, we simply season it with just the right amount of salt and pepper. Then we place it in a jar for cooking and sterilization. And that's it!

Natural and authentic, in the image of the Gers, our whole foie gras comes from free-range ducks. We prepare our foie gras in the same spirit as our ancestors. In the Gers region, culinary traditions are an essential part of our culture, handed down from father to son and mother to daughter!

Semi-cooked foie gras, the creaminess of your plate

It's because it's pasteurized at less than 85°C and cooked through, that mi-cuit foie gras has such a smooth texture. The shorter cooking time, compared to that of whole cooked foie gras, preserves the melt-in-the-mouth texture of the foie gras inside. To enjoy, we recommend that you eat mi-cuit foie gras on slices of good farmhouse bread. Often eaten with fig jam or candied onions, sweet accompaniments are perfect for revealing its aromas.

Duck products for festive aperitifs

To complement our Gers foie gras, we offer a range of delicious duck products to share. Our Gascon tapas are perfect for a tasty duck aperitif. Our favorite is our duck fritons, which we're often asked for! We're also particularly fond of our duck foie gras pâté. Containing 25% foie gras, it's the perfect alternative between luxury and authenticity.

And what are your favorite products? Have you already started planning your next festivities?
