A successful marriage between foie gras and the heat of Espelette pepper
A passionate alliance between the delicacy of Duck foie gras and the strength of the famous Basque pepper. Espelette pepper is a product with protected designation of origin, very well known in France and now throughout Europe.
A meeting of the flavors of France and those of the Basque Country. As our great chefs say, the important thing is to surprise and combine different flavors that you would not necessarily think of pairing. You were probably familiar with foie gras with figs, so why not try it with pepper?
This exquisite delicacy, enjoyed by many French people, is a favorite dish that can be savored all year round at gourmet tables.
A foie gras specialty for lovers of intense sensations
This block of foie gras with Espelette pepper makes very original toast toppings and is becoming increasingly popular in the trendy restaurants of Paris, where chefs let their imaginations run wild. For example, foie gras is sometimes spread on toast topped with quail eggs as well.
Very precise legislation, which we strictly comply with, prevents us from displaying the foie gras logo of Southwest France. But naturally, the block of foie gras used in this specialty is the same as our other blocks of foie gras. The ducks are raised traditionally free-range in Southwest France.
Ingredients
Duck foie gras from Southwest France, water, salt, Espelette pepper (0.3%), pepper, sugar, spices.
