Some details about our foie gras:
The foie gras at Owl’s Bread Bakery is a terrine, the same as foie gras ‘’au torchon’’ (e.g. cooked tightly wrapped in a rag and in a plastic film), also called ‘’mi-cuit’’ (‘’semi cooked’’) because it is cooked at a very low temperature. This cooking process makes it completely different from pasteurized foie gras from a can. Although our foie gras is semi cooked, it is ready to eat and does not need any further cooking. Simply accompany it with a suuculent toasted country bread and a light salad with xeres vinaigrette (see our price list for prices and ingredients)
Our suggestion about wine to accompany ‘’foie gras’’:
a very good sweet white wine such as a sauternes, monbazillac, ste croix du mont, hungarian tokaji aszù, austrian or german trockenbeerenauslese, alsacian, canadian or chilian late harvest, canadian or german icewine, etc…, or a dry rich white wine from Burgundy (Pouligny or Chassagne Montrachet), California or Australia, or a very good and intense viognier from Côtes du Rhône (Condrieu) or from California.
