Description
If you’ve never tried goose foie gras, this 65g tin is where we tell people to begin. Foie Gras Block Goose 65g is Comtesse du Barry’s original recipe, unchanged since 1954 and still made without additives or preservatives.
A bloc is made by blending several goose foies gras before cooking — a method that keeps the fat where it belongs and gives a dense, silky texture that cuts cleanly and melts slowly against the palate. Expect a rich, rounded flavour with real depth: this is the style that made Gascony famous.
How we serve it
- Chilled, sliced about 1cm thick, on warm brioche or toasted sourdough
- Never spread it — lay the slice on the bread and let it melt
- A pinch of fleur de sel, with a few fresh figs or grapes alongside
- Pour a small glass of Sauternes or Champagne and serve it first, while palates are fresh
From the Gers, Gascony
We import this bloc directly from Comtesse du Barry, founded in the village of Gimont in 1908 by a couple who set out to make the world’s best foie gras. Their geese are raised outdoors in the Gers and fed whole-grain corn, and every tin is cooked in the house’s own workshops in South-West France.

Frequently asked questions
What does goose foie gras taste like?
Comtesse du Barry's goose foies gras are endowed with powerful flavours marked by their terroir — characterised by the frankness of their aromas and a steady, full taste. The block offers a fine presentation and a smooth, clean cut.
How should foie gras be served?
Chill it for several hours in the refrigerator (+2 to +4°C) and take it out 15 minutes before tasting. Serve in slices about 1cm thick on cooled plates, with toasted sourdough, brioche or spiced bread — and never spread it; place it on the bread and let it melt against the palate.
What wine goes with goose foie gras?
A slightly sweet wine is the classic match — think Sauternes, Gewürztraminer or even Champagne. Enjoy the foie gras at the very start of the meal, while your taste buds are fresh.
Does this foie gras contain additives or preservatives?
No — the traditional block recipe dates from 1954 and has remained unchanged, made without additives or preservatives. Several foies gras are blended before cooking, which limits the fat released and gives an even quality throughout.
Is 65g of foie gras enough, and are there bigger tins?
The 65g tin is an elegant entrée-size taster — ideal for a first try or an intimate starter. The same goose foie gras block also comes in 100g and 210g tins for larger tables.
