Types of foie gras

Whole foie gras : The term foie gras is the French translation of "fatty liver" and refers to the ability of birds to accumulate fat in their livers as an energy reserve. Whole foie gras is made from a single duck or goose liver, or from a portion of one. European legislation stipulates that the liver used for foie gras production must have a minimum fat content and a specific size, depending on the type of bird.

Foie gras micuit : Micuit in French literally means semi-cooked and refers to the cooking method of this food. While foie gras is prepared by undergoing a sterilization process, micuit undergoes a pasteurization process, which means this product should be consumed sooner.

Foie gras bloc : Foie gras bloc is made with an emulsion of foie gras and other ingredients such as various spices and liqueurs. Sometimes, the bloc may contain whole pieces of foie gras, which are visible when sliced. We could say that the bloc is a reconstruction made 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 various liqueurs. The main characteristic of mousse, and what distinguishes it from other products like foie gras, is that it always contains less than 50% foie gras.

Why Lafitte?

Lafitte is synonymous with excellence, tradition, quality, and authenticity. Founded in 1920 by Pierre Lafitte in the small French town of Montaut, Lafitte initially sold game and foie gras to a small clientele of local restaurants. After Pierre's death, his son Léon and his wife Solange took over the business. In 1970, Léon brought his children into the company, propelling Lafitte's international growth by leaps and bounds.

For four generations, Lafitte has been delivering the excellence and unmistakable flavor of its foie gras. Lafitte distributes its products in France to prestigious restaurants, to a network of delicatessens worldwide, and has six physical stores (Paris, Bordeaux, Dax, Mont-de-Marsan, Bayonne, and Montaut).
