Details

Perfect for introducing sophisticated flavors to your menu, this Hudson Valley torchon foie gras is a great addition to your charcuterie boards and high end dishes! A smooth, luscious take on traditional French foie gras made from fatty duck liver, this pure foie gras has been rolled into a cylindrical shaped and cooked for the ultimate cold preparation. To produce the tastiest, healthiest product, the raising of the ducks is carefully controlled at each step of the way. Moulard ducks, a cross between Pekin and Muscovy ducks, are bred and raised on the farm. Replicating the natural gorging process of this migratory waterfowl, a specialty hand-feeding process is utilized to produce the perfect high-quality duck for foie gras. This luxurious delicacy is then warm-harvested, inspected for quality to check for consistency and texture and gently poached to fully cook it for fresh-tasting foie gras year round. Flavorful as-is, this foie gras torchon can be sliced and served with a sprinkle of sea salt, fruity jam, and toasted brioche for a simple and tasty passed hors d'oeuvres.

Make your guests feel like they are in a petite bistro by plating torchon slices alongside a cheese and charcuterie board featuring famous French specialties like epoisses, camembert, terrine, and a fresh baguette. Perfectly balanced when served atop crunchy bread with accoutrements like dried fruit, fruit preserves, or honey, its slightly meaty flavor is complemented by the sweet and tartness of the fruit. Or, add it to salads or stuffing for high-end flavor in your fine dining restaurant. To use, simply remove it from the refrigerator and use a warm knife to cleanly slice out your desired portion. Since it has an intricate, delicate flavor, it is best to create a simple dish, like serving the torchon as is or alongside housemade bread to create a clean, satisfying pairing. No matter how you serve it, this foie gras torchon will lend exquisite taste to any dish!
