Foie gras has been an emblematic product of Maison Barthouil since the very beginning. Gaston Barthouil, a butcher's son, began making it as early as 1929. Today, we're still part of this local tradition. We work exclusively with 5 passionate duck breeders based around Peyrehorade. They raise a slow-growing duck, outdoors for long periods, in small batches. They grow the corn for their feed.
In our workshops, we still practice cold evisceration. We're simply reviving a peasant practice often considered outdated: foie gras has time to mature in the duck, before being worked on. When tasted, its taste is all the more assertive, with a long finish.
