A French gastronomic heritage

As an emblematic product of gastronomy, « foie gras is part of the French Protected Cultural and Gastronomic Heritage » (Article L654-27-1 of the French Rural Code).

With the adoption of this article in 2006, the French Parliament emphasized the outstanding inherited feature of foie gras.

….that everybody appreciates

Over the last year, foie gras, emblematic product of French gastronomy, has become known and recognized throughout the world. It is now sought-after, tasted and enjoyed in the five continents.

Particularly appreciated in Asia and in the Middle-East, French foie gras is mainly consumed in Europe. With this international reputation of a typically French product*, foie gras has become the ambassador of French gastronomy and cooking.

The West : Comprising 3 regions (Poitou Charentes, Pays de la Loire and Brittany) this more recent production area ranks just behind the South West.

Alsace : Thanks to their tradition of canners, Alsatian businesses continue to actively contribute to the international culinary reputation of foie gras.
