Castaing Whole Duck Foie Gras

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Castaing Whole Duck Foie Gras is 100% natural, made with traditional free-range farming methods, and all-natural feeding certified by the French Label Rouge production body. It contains no additives, no preservatives, no artificial flavors nor colors.

It’s a smooth and soft foie gras, creamy and rich, with an almost buttery texture. This fatty foie gras is full of flavor, indulgent and decadent on the palate.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

This whole duck foie gras can be seared and served with caramelized figs or balsamic sauce. It’s also best enjoyed handled as little as possible. Cut into your foie gras with a warm knife, and place the thin slices onto some fresh bread. You can sprinkle on some pepper, or swipe some French mustard on top to flesh out the savory flavor. If you prefer contrast in your flavors, you can top your foie gras with some fruit preserve or jam, or even a thin slice of apple or pear.

Pair with a Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio, or even a pear or apple cider.

A LONG LINE OF EXCELLENCE

The Castaing family have been at the forefront of fine French gastronomy for generations, from as far back as 1900. 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.
