The differences between whole foie gras and block foie gras

Foie gras, that noble delicacy and essential part of any festive meal, comes in several forms. These include whole foie gras and block foie gras. In this section, we will explain the differences between the two.

Whole foie gras

Whole foie gras, as its name suggests, comes from a single foie gras. It is a lobe or part of a lobe of foie gras. When cut, whole foie gras has a beautiful, fairly uniform color, which proves that it comes from a single liver. Regulations impose a list of seasonings that are permitted before cooking. This list includes salt, sugar, spices, and aromatic herbs. This type of foie gras is generally unanimously appreciated by connoisseurs because it is synonymous with authenticity. 

Block foie gras

The block of foie gras is processed into a fine paste. This preparation consists of emulsified foie gras to which seasoning is added. In some cases, pieces of foie gras lobe are also added. When these are added, the product must be labeled as such, and is generally found under the name "block of foie gras with pieces." When sliced, the pieces of lobe are clearly visible. This type of foie gras is generally enjoyed spread on toast. 

Foie gras, a historic delicacy

The origins of foie gras in Europe date back a very long way, to Ancient Rome. Today, France is the world leader in foie gras production, and it played a very important role when French gastronomy was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The high consumption and commercialization of this legendary delicacy in France dates back to the 1980s. In partnership with large retailers, producers began to intensify their production while ensuring impeccable quality.

The foie gras market

It is recognized worldwide, as many countries import French foie gras because it is the most flavorful. The trade in foie gras is impressive: nearly 26,800,000 tons are produced worldwide, with France contributing significantly, producing 18,818,000 tons. It is therefore a market worth several hundred million euros.

Duck foie gras from the Gers

Duck foie gras from Gers is a renowned delicacy produced in the Gers region of southwestern France. The Gers region has been known for its production of duck foie gras for several centuries and is considered one of the best regions for producing this delicacy.

It is produced using a traditional method that involves hand-feeding the ducks a mixture of grains and figs. This method produces high-quality duck foie gras, which is considered superior in terms of texture and taste to that produced using industrial methods.
