Frequently
Asked Questions
|
The tradition of foie
gras goes back to the Egyptians. They were the first to discover that
ducks & geese have beautifully fattened livers just before they migrate.
The liver is located in the center of the body & it becomes a calorie
'cockpit' for the long flight.
Foie gras
is a paste made from goose or duck liver (marinated in cognac), onions,
mushrooms, and often truffles.
It is truly a tasty miracle
of mother nature!

Raw Foie Gras
French Foie Gras:
French foie gras comes from Moulard ducks. The
livers have a fine, sweet taste due to the corn feeding and are sold in a
somewhat rectangular shape. They are soft and easy to slice. The French
foie gras is great for making terrines and holds well in the pan.
American Foie Gras:
Produce in upstate New York American foie gras is
recognized by its oval shape and is best when sautéed.
- Grade A
:
These are the largest, firmest, most perfect livers. They weigh from 11/4
to 11/2 pounds and serve from 8 to 10 people as a first
course. They are especially recommended when you want to use the liver
whole, as in a terrine, and when the appearance is essential. We also
sell them presliced, vacuum-packed, for times when a smaller amount is
needed.
- Grade B
:
These are smaller, more veined or bruised the grade A’s, and will
develop a slightly grainier texture during cooking. We use them to make
our mousses of foie gras or cubed for stuffings.
- Grade C
:
These are sporadically available; chefs usually use them to flavor and
thicken their sauces.
Cooked Foie Gras
Terrine Of Foie Gras:
The
whole foie gras deveined, cleaned, and cooked. Served chilled with lightly
toasted broiche or toast points. Garnish with fresh fruits, mesclun salad
or aspic cubes. It is the best.
Mousse Of Foie Gras:
Foie gras blended with water or wine and baked. This product will be less
expensive than the terrine of foie gras. Check the ingredients list to
make sure that the meat is 100 percent foie gras, with no chicken pork
liver or regular duck liver added. It can be spread lightly on toasted
brioche, piped with a pastry bag into pre-cooked pastry cups for instant
hors d'oeuvres, or whisked into sauced for a rich foie gras flavor.
Block Of Foie Gras 30%:
This special 2.2 lb. block was
created for restaurants because contains nitrites so it does not discolor
and can be prepared for service hours ahead.
Canned Foie Gras:
It must be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 212ºF for along
period of time in order to be shelf stable. It is perfect when
refrigeration is of concern.

Foie
Gras Notios: TRUE & FALSE
|
FALSE |
TRUE |
|
Raw
foie gras needs to be soaked in salted milk or salted water before it
is cooked. |
Most
of the blood is removed when icing and then vacuum-packing, so soaking
is superfluous. |
|
Ducks
and geese have their feet nailed to the ground to be force-fed. |
This
tale never happened, because if web-footed birds are mistreated they
stop eating and die. |
|
Foie
gras is unhealthy |
Foie
gras is low in saturated fat. |
|
Foie
gras should be dipped in flour and then cooked in butter. |
Foie
gras should be quickly seared in a very hot, dry pan without any flour
or butter. It is easier and better. |
|
Terrines of foie gras are best made with brandy. |
Fortified and late-harvest wines are the best spirits to pair with
foie gras to achieve a balance of sweetness and acidity. Brandy is too
strong; it will overpower the delicate flavor of the liver. |

prosciuttos, and other luncheon meats.
Smoked Magret is simply
seasoned with salt and pepper.

duck.

cured breast of the moulard duck. Nitrite and preservative free.
