Extra duck foie gras

Lafitte’s 1st choice whole foie gras is a gastronomic journey into the Landes region in southwestern France. And it is precisely in the typical village of Montaut, at the foot of the Chalosse hills, that the Lafitte family has been passionately protecting the traditions and know-how of the “Landaise” duck, for 4 generations. At the very beginning, the company’s founder Pierre Lafitte sold game products, goose and duck foie gras, to local restaurants. Since then, the company – which today is still family-owned – has grown and offers a full range of products which share Pierre Lafitte’s original mission: to offer his customers the best “Landaise” duck on the market!

The ducks used to make foie gras come from an old Mulard variety, which is considered the best duck for foie gras. A hardy breed, the Mulard is a cross between a male Barbary and a female Rouen or Pekin. It is characterized by slow growth and is recognizable by its white and black coloring: a distinctive feature of absolute quality. There are 3 different types of foie gras available on the market, which differ in the quality of the liver or parts from which the foie gras is made:

• “Foie gras entier”, made from whole or assembled higher quality livers, which Lafitte uses primarily for preserved products or escalopes, as they are perfect for special cooking at high temperatures.
• “Foie gras”, made of assembled pieces of foie gras, ideal for cooking in a pan.
• And the “fois gras bloc”, which is a foie made from several pieces of liver and, as it loses a lot of fat when cooked, this type of fois gras is used for terrines or confits to be consumed at room temperature on a slice of toast.
