The Art of Goose Foie Gras: A Century of Excellence
Since 1908, our workshops in France have maintained the same passionate dedication to crafting whole goose foie gras, a true epitome of luxury in French gastronomy. Our skilled artisans work with geese raised in the countryside of South-West France, where traditional farming methods have been preserved for generations.
The production of foie gras at Comtesse du Barry follows exacting standards, with our expert workers selecting only the finest livers for processing. Each year, we prepare hundreds of tonnes of foie gras, maintaining the same level of excellence that has earned us recognition for quality foie gras across France and Europe.
Our goose foie gras, particularly cherished for special occasions, stands out for its delicate flavor profile and remarkable fat content that creates an incomparably smooth texture.
The Distinctive Quality of Our Goose Liver
Exclusive Selection of Premium Whole Liver
Each whole goose liver undergoes a rigorous selection process in our workshops, where our master artisans evaluate texture, colour, and weight. We select only the largest livers, weighing between 600 and 800 grams, ensuring optimal taste and buttery consistency.
Our expertise allows us to identify the perfect marbling pattern that guarantees the signature melt-in-your-mouth experience of Comtesse du Barry foie gras. The careful deveining process preserves the liver's delicate structure while removing any imperfections.
From the moment of selection to final preparation, our master artisans maintain constant temperature control at precisely 4°C, safeguarding the sublime qualities that make our whole goose liver renowned among gastronomy enthusiasts.

This refined preparation combines the smoothness of goose liver with a perfect balance of natural seasonings, creating an exquisite texture that spreads effortlessly on warm bread.

Block of Goose Foie Gras
Our block of goose foie gras represents a masterful innovation in French gastronomy, created by Comtesse du Barry in 1954. This refined preparation offers a remarkably smooth consistency that spreads beautifully, making it perfect for elegant canapés and sophisticated starters.
Produced exclusively from South-West France geese, each block undergoes careful emulsion to achieve its characteristic velvety texture. We season our creation simply with Guérande salt and freshly ground pepper, allowing the pure taste of premium goose liver to shine through.
Available in 65g, 100g, and 210g formats, our blocks of goose foie gras maintain their exceptional quality for up to three years when stored at room temperature, offering remarkable convenience without compromising on taste or texture.
Is goose foie gras better than duck foie gras?
While both varieties showcase French gastronomic excellence, goose and duck foie gras offer distinct taste experiences. Goose foie gras presents a more subtle, refined flavour profile with buttery undertones that develop gradually on the palate. Its smooth, creamy texture creates an incomparable melt-in-the-mouth sensation.
Duck foie gras, equally cherished in French cuisine, delivers a more pronounced, robust character with immediate impact. The choice between these two delicacies often reflects personal preference rather than absolute superiority.
At Comtesse du Barry, we craft both varieties with the same meticulous attention, though our goose foie gras particularly appeals to connoisseurs seeking nuanced flavours. Its larger size and careful preparation result in a uniquely velvety consistency that has earned special recognition among gastronomy enthusiasts.

Each format comes in elegant glass jars sealed to preserve freshness, with clear serving suggestions on the label. Our semi-cooked selections require refrigeration and offer a 6-month shelf life, while our preserved varieties can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 years.
From individual portions to sharing sizes, every jar maintains the same exceptional standards that have defined Comtesse du Barry since 1908.
Storage and Conservation Tips
Preserving the refined character of your goose foie gras requires attention to detail. For whole and semi-cooked varieties, maintain a constant temperature between 0°C and 4°C in your refrigerator, placing the jar away from the door to avoid temperature fluctuations.
Once opened, wrap your foie gras carefully in parchment paper rather than plastic film to protect its delicate texture while allowing it to breathe. Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to appreciate its full flavour profile.
Our preserved foie gras in sealed jars benefits from storage in a cool, dark cupboard. When selecting a jar from your collection, look for the subtle golden hue that develops with time - a sign of perfectly matured foie gras ready to grace your table.
