What type of Animal?
2 different types of Animal are used to make Foie Gras
Duck foie gras is the most consumed type of foie gras and is most of the time the cheapest option. Its taste is rustic and rich which is due to its native soil. Duck foie gras has a stronger flavor than goose foie gras.
Goose foie gras is less common and more expensive than duck foie gras. This is due to the fact that its production requires more intensive care and feeding. Because of its gentle and creamy taste, it is generally considered more delicate than duck foie gras.
Cooking of Foie Gras?
3 different types of cooking Foie Gras
Cooked foie gras is the most traditional preparation of goose and duck liver. It proceeds from a raw liver that has been cooked, sterilized and preserved in its own fat. It is generally packed in a can or a glass jar, in pâté form, and has a shelf life of several years without refrigeration.
Semi-Cooked foie gras used the same process then cooked but is slightly cooked and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Its colour is pink and its taste is more subtle than the fully-cooked version.
Raw foie gras is fresh and has to used either to cook it and do semi-cooked and cooked foie gras or it can also be be pan-fried or sauteed rapidly and we call it then "Foie Gras poêlé" or finally cook it using salt.
In Pieces or whole?
Bloc de foie gras and foie gras entier are two different types of fully-cooked foie gras.
Foie gras entier is the purest form of foie gras. It consists of a whole foie gras that has been deveined, cleaned, seasoned and sterilized-cooked in its own fat, without any additives. It has a firm and dense texture.
Bloc de foie gras is an emulsion of foie gras, that is a mix of foie gras (at least 90%), water and seasoning. It has a homogeneous mousse texture. In some premium-quality blocs de foie gras, called “blocs de foie gras avec morceaux”, pieces of whole foie gras can also be added to the emulsion.
Which one is better is just a matter of preference!
What type of Bread?
Which one is better is just a matter of preference! What we will recommend it that no matter what type of bread you choose you need to have it toasted and serve it warm with the Foie Gras.
IMPORTANT: One thing you have to know is that foie gras unlike pâté cannot be spead on the bread!
Brioche: Lots of people love to eat foie gras with brioche which gives a sweet taste and is quite enjoyable.
Bread with fig or raisins: some other people will like to have the sweet taste in the matter of sultanas or figs in the bread
Pain d'Epice: is also an alternative but not so easy to find in Australia and normally Foie Gras from Alsace will go really well with this type of Bread.
Normal toast or Bread: Some people will prefer just a normal toast of piece of white bread loaf to eat their foie gras.
What accompaniment?
You can choose to eat your foie gras with no special accompaniment but you can also choose to season it. The three most common accompainment are:
Fig Chutney which is the most common or
Onion confit which is caramelized onions that are similar to a jam
Sauternes Jelly which is a jelly made with a famous sweet wine from the bordeaux region
You can also choose to use mango or green tomatoes but they are less common
What Wine (of course!) ?
Foie gras surprisingly can be paired with many different sorts of wines
Sweet wine such as Sauternes or other similar wines: are the most popular pairing. It is better to choose a wine that is not to heavy in sugar and you will see the flavours will match perfectly. The other sweet wines you can use are Bergerac, Côtes de Gascogne, Jurançon or Gaillac Wines.
Champagne: The type of Champagne will vary with the type of Foie Gras you are easting. With a Goose Foie Gras it is recommended to serve a delicate and fresh and light champagne. With a Duck Foie Gras it is best to opt for a stonger champagne. If the foie gras is eaten with sweet accompaniment then it is best to use a semi-dry to sweet champagne.
Dry White wine: Foie Gras will also pair well with these types of white wine if it is accompained by the sweet jams or chutley listed above. The good dry wines that match well are Alsace Wines such as Pinot gris or Gewurztraminer.
Red Wine: More an more people serve Foie Gras and Red Wine. This pairing enable to not to weight to much on taste buds but still reveal the flavours. It is recommended to choose an old red wine such as Saint Emilion or Pommerol (Both Bordeaux French Wines). You need to avoid wines that are too young and too light.
