What goes with Foie Gras?
Foie gras is produced from the enlarged liver of duck or goose. It is composed of approximately 50–65% fat together with proteins, phospholipids, glycogen and aromatic compounds formed during cooking. Its exceptionally high fat content creates an extraordinarily smooth texture and makes it one of the richest flavour carriers in gastronomy.
