BLOCK OF DUCK FOIE GRAS WITH ARMAGNAC BRANDY, MICUIT 4.4 OZ

A succulent piece of duck foie gras, whole, completely delicious and sumptuous, micuit foie gras is cooked for a couple of hours in its container, to preserve the richness of the liver as much as possible while still rending it shelf-stable and perfect to eat right off the container.

Presented in a lovely mason jar, this attractive packaging is not only so pretty, it’s the classic presentation. The silky lobe is preserved with fine Armagnac brandy and select seasonings and is ready to eat. Just take out of the container, and spread over the freshest baguette you can find, top with some juicy and crunchy cornichons, and enjoy a select snack. For a more sophisticated but equally delicious presentation, slice and place on toast points with some coarse fleur de sel for an elegant canape.

This doesn’t require refrigeration but tastes so much better when chilled, so before serving leave it in the fridge for about an hour, then take out a few minutes before serving so it’s cold but not ice-cold. Match with your favorite bottle of Sauternes, or a sweet late harvest or port wine.

Rougie is a French company that’s been producing some of the world’s finest foie gas since 1875. They raise their ducks in their own farms in Canada, fed with local-grown corn.

Mi-cuit duck foie gras is only pasteurized for great flavor and maximum fresh taste. This will serve 3-4 people. Made by Rougié in Canada. Refrigerated.
