An iconic dish of the Gers region
The Gers, nestled in the southwest, is a land of traditions where gastronomy is at the heart of village life. Here, foie gras takes pride of place at every celebration, meal with friends, or special occasion. This savoir-vivre has made the region's reputation, as has Maison Ramajo, which embodies authenticity and continuity.
Since its beginnings, the Ramajo family has worked hand in hand, from caring for the animals to the final stages of bottling.
An artisanal process, a guarantee of authenticity and quality
In the Gers, where time takes its time, Maison Ramajo perpetuates a rare family know-how. From free-range farming to seasoning, each block of foie gras is created with precision, respecting both the animal and the taste.
Prepared on the farm, without unnecessary additives, the foie gras is potted immediately after production. This short supply chain ensures freshness, melt-in-the-mouth texture and authenticity—a faithful tribute to Gascon traditions.
How to serve and enjoy your block of foie gras?
Serving a block of foie gras is a way to enhance a simple moment with elegance. Spread or cut into thin slices, it can be enjoyed on lightly toasted bread or brioche toast, accompanied by fig chutney, onion confit, or fresh fruit. Every detail counts: dipping your knife in hot water ensures clean, delicate cuts.
Remove the foie gras from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before serving so that it is at room temperature and releases all its flavors.
A few sprinkles of fleur de sel or pink peppercorns are enough to reveal its rich aromas. Paired with a sweet white wine from Gascony or a brut champagne, the block of foie gras becomes the perfect companion for precious moments—a delicate tasting experience, true to the refined spirit of the Southwest.

FAQ
What is the difference between whole foie gras and block foie gras?
Whole foie gras consists of one or more whole lobes, simply seasoned and then cooked without processing. Its marbled texture and more pronounced flavor appeal to those who love character. Block foie gras, on the other hand, is a creamy, homogeneous preparation made from emulsified foie gras, sometimes enhanced with pieces.
There are also semi-cooked foie gras, truffled blocks, terrines, and medallions that explore other flavors, but duck foie gras block remains the best compromise between refinement, authenticity, and affordability. Discover all our varieties from the Gers region.
How should you store a block of foie gras?
Before opening, sterilized or pasteurized foie gras blocks can be stored at room temperature, away from light and heat. Once opened, they should be placed in the refrigerator and consumed within 2 to 3 days to enjoy their full flavor.
Is Maison Ramajo foie gras IGP Gers certified?
Absolutely. It has Protected Geographical Indication (PGI Gers) certification, which guarantees the origin of the ducks, their free-range rearing in the Gers region, and respected local expertise. This is a guarantee of an authentic, high-quality product.
