Foie Gras
Our foie gras comes from ducks and geese raised outdoors in the countryside of South-West France.
They are cooked in our workshops in the Gers, in order to make «the best foie gras in the world» and we do not add to our recipes any preservatives or dyes to preserve the authentic and natural character. Raising ducks and geese well, respecting tradition and modernity, this is what allows Countess du Barry to rise to a level of excellence rarely equaled.
Caviar
If there is one dish that is synonymous with extreme refinement, it is caviar. Apart from their extraordinary taste qualities, it is the rarity of these small fish grains that makes the value of caviar.
As a specialist in fine dining, Comtesse du Barry has selected the best aquaculture farms in the Southwest where sturgeon are raised in pure water and fed with a natural diet.
The caviars Comtesse du Barry have been worked with the necessary precautions and know-how for a rare and exceptional dish. The grains are sieved, washed with water, drained and selected by our experts according to their properties: size, texture and firmness. They are then salted with care and packaged in airtight boxes that protect the caviar as in a case
TRUFFLES
The «diamonds of the kitchen», as Brillat-Savarin called them, have been used for centuries for their delicious fragrance that sublimates all the preparations of high gastronomy, starting with our famous truffled foie gras.

It is this expertise in the selection of products of excellence that we share by offering you this gastronomic splendor: whole truffles or flakes, carpaccio, oils or salts, its complex fragrances embalm the entire kitchen.
