Foie gras is a delicacy made from the liver of a duck or goose that has been specially fattened. It's known for its rich, buttery texture and distinctive flavor.
What does it taste like?
Foie gras has a rich, buttery, and delicate flavor with a creamy texture that melts in your mouth. The richness comes from the high fat content in the liver, giving it a smooth, velvety consistency. The taste can vary depending on how it's prepared and served, but its distinctive richness is a hallmark of foie gras.
Use tips
Foie gras pairs wonderfully with sweet and acidic elements. Consider serving it with a fruit compote, figs, a drizzle of balsamic reduction, or a sweet wine like Sauternes.
Allow the foie gras to reach room temperature before serving. This enhances its flavors and ensures a smoother texture.
Serve with lightly toasted bread or blini pancakes to complement the richness of the foie gras.
