The Maison Barthouil has been producing foie gras since 1929, and their Duck Foie Gras Entier is a testament to their expertise. This product is made with slow-growing ducks raised in the open air in small batches. The foie gras has time to mature in the duck before being processed, resulting in a more assertive taste and a nice length in the mouth.

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The Barthouil Duck Foie Gras Entier has a unique musky flavor that is accompanied by slight bitterness at the end of the mouth. It is best served fresh, with toasted bread and light red wine, yellow wine from Jura or white wine from Burgundy. The recommended quantity per person for a starter is 60g.

Pairings and Suggestions

This foie gras pairs well with sweet accompaniments such as figs or apples, as well as savory accompaniments such as onions or mushrooms. It can also be served with toast points or crackers for an easy appetizer.

A Local Tradition

The Barthouil family has been part of the local tradition of Peyrehorade since 1929 when Gaston Barthouil opened his delicatessen. He started making foie gras and smoking salmon supplied by local fishermen. In 1958, he went to Denmark for inspiration on how to improve his smoking method which revolutionized his production process. Today, the Maison Barthouil still uses traditional know-how and produces unique products that are proudly anchored in Peyrehorade’s soil.
