Foie gras is a subcategory of luxury goose and duck liver, represented by the Spanish brand Malvasia. The range covers the whole scale of preparations - from whole fattened liver (entero, including a version with truffle) through premium mi-cuit, the finer parfait and the more accessible bloc to light mousse. The range is supplemented by cured duck breast (jamón de pato), a cured meat product made from duck. Foie gras is one of the classic French and Spanish gastronomic specialities, popular on the festive table.

How to find your way around this category

Entero is whole fattened liver with no additions - the most authentic and most premium version. Mi-cuit (literally "half cooked") is gently heat-treated foie gras, which retains the most of its natural texture and flavour. Parfait contains at least 75 % foie gras mixed with other ingredients for a creamier texture. Bloc is foie gras reconstituted from pieces of liver. Mousse has the lowest proportion of liver and the finest, lightest texture.

If you are deciding between goose and duck foie gras: goose is traditionally considered finer and more delicate, while duck has a more pronounced, more robust flavour.

How to serve and store foie gras

Foie gras is traditionally served chilled, cut into thin slices, with a little salt, pepper and a sweet accompaniment - fig jam, grape or port wine, or toasted bread. Cured duck breast (jamón de pato) is sliced in a similar way to classic ham, into thin slices, and is served on its own or as part of a cold platter.

Take foie gras out of the fridge about 15-20 minutes before serving - when slightly less cold, it has a more pronounced and fuller flavour.
