The block of duck foie gras with pieces of Lafitte is an authentic delight that offers an unparalleled gastronomic experience. This product, made with the most select duck liver, is characterized by its soft texture and delicate flavor, which is complemented by pieces of foie gras, providing an interesting contrast in each bite.

Origin and Preparation
Lafitte, a renowned brand in the world of French gastronomy, has been dedicated to the production of high-quality foie gras since 1920. The block of chunky foie gras is made in the Landes region of southwestern France, an area known for its tradition and excellence in duck farming and foie gras production. The ducks are raised outdoors and fed naturally, which guarantees a final product with authentic flavor and ideal texture.

The process of making chunky duck foie gras block includes slow cooking the liver, followed by emulsifying it and adding whole pieces of foie gras. This technique allows you to obtain a homogeneous and creamy product, with small texture surprises in each bite.

Flavor and Texture
The duck foie gras block with Lafitte pieces is distinguished by its mild, slightly sweet flavor with a touch of nuttiness. The presence of whole pieces of foie gras inside the pad adds an extra dimension to the culinary experience, offering a combination of textures that ranges from creamy to firm.

Pairing and Presentation
To fully enjoy this delicacy, it is recommended to serve the block of duck foie gras with Lafitte pieces slightly chilled, accompanied by toasted bread or brioche. It also pairs perfectly with sweet white wines, such as a Sauternes or a Gewürztraminer, or even with champagne. The presentation in thin portions allows you to appreciate the aesthetics of the product, highlighting the pieces of foie gras integrated into the creamy mass.

Types of Foie gras:

Foie gras entier: The word foie gras is the French translation of fatty liver and refers to the ability of birds to accumulate fat in the liver as an energy reserve. Foie gras entier is made with a single duck and goose liver or a part of it. European legislation determines that the liver used to make foie gras must have a minimum level of fat and a certain size depending on the type of bird used.

Foie gras micuit: micuit in French literally means semi-cooked and refers to the cooking method of this food. While foie gras is made by undergoing a sterilization process, micuit undergoes a pasteurization process, something that means that this product must be consumed in less time.

Foie gras block: Foie gras block is made with an emulsion of foie gras and other ingredients such as different spices and liqueurs. Sometimes, the pad may contain whole pieces of foie gras, which can be seen in the cut. We could say that the pad is a reconstruction from pieces of goose or duck liver.

Foie gras mousse: Foie gras mousse is an emulsion made with goose or duck liver and other ingredients such as animal fat, egg, spices and different liqueurs. The main characteristic of mousse, which differentiates it from other products such as foie, is that it always contains less than 50% foie gras.
