Duck or goose foie gras: which to choose?

Duck and goose Foie Gras are exceptional dishes, prized for their delicate flavor and creamy texture. However, these two types of foie gras have distinct characteristics that influence their choice. At Relais Gourmet, which specializes in duck, we help you tell the difference between these two gastronomic treasures. All this to offer you an unforgettable culinary experience.

Duck Foie Gras: a versatile and tasty choice

It’s the most popular in France and around the world. It has a slightly stronger taste and firmer texture than goose foie gras. As ducks are smaller animals, their livers are generally less voluminous. This makes it more accessible and less expensive than goose. Its intense flavor makes it perfect for foie gras-based dishes such as terrines, pâtés or pan-fried escalopes.

Chez Relais Gourmetwe offer a wide range of duck products, perfect for any occasion. This includes party meals to more intimate moments. Our duck products come from ducks raised with respect for tradition and animal welfare. This guarantees incomparable quality.

Goose Foie Gras: exceptional sweetness

Goose foie gras is rarer and more expensive than duck foie gras. It offers a more melt-in-the-mouth texture and a sweeter, more subtle flavour. Its delicate, almost sweet taste appeals to connoisseurs in search of a unique gastronomic experience. Goose foie gras is often chosen for special occasions. This includes festive meals and prestigious gastronomic events.

What’s the difference?

The main difference between the two lies in their texture and taste. Duck foie gras is firmer and more pronounced, making it suitable for a variety of culinary preparations. Goose foie gras, on the other hand, is softer and smoother, and more suited to those seeking a more refined experience.
