Castaing Entier Whole Goose Foie Gras

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Entier of foie gras is foie gras that contains a few whole lobes of liver, around one or two. The Castaing Entier Whole Goose Foie Gras is ready-to-eat, and is beautifully fatty, made with only the best ingredients. Castaing uses all-natural feeding certified by the French Label Rouge production body, and traditional, free-range farming methods.

This Entier Goose Foie Gras has a subtly buttery flavor, with a lingering aftertaste and a great texture.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Serve the Castaing Entier Whole Goose Foie Gras as thin slices on warm toast or fresh bread. You can add a little dollop of fruit preserve, or a thin slice of apple or pear to balance out the flavor with a little sweetness. Or you can accentuate the savory elements with a small smear of French mustard or balsamic spread. Pair with a French Sauterne, a Pinot Gris, or a Pinot Grigio.

A LONG LINE OF EXCELLENCE

But it wasn’t until 1925, when Joseph Castaing founded Maison Castaing that the family cemented its role as ambassadors of fine food. Located in Landes in the South of France, the company makes and distributes the finest foie gras, terrines, confit, and other gastronomic delights to various prestigious hotels, restaurants, retailers, and delicatessens worldwide.
