Rougie to phase out Goose Foie Gras Exports to U.S.

Just got word today that Rougie has decided to phase out its goose foie gras exports to the U.S. To compensate, Rougie has added lines of duck foie gras with port and duck liver mousse.

Our stocks are fine at the moment, but it looks like we are going to have to switch to duck foie gras or find a new source in the future. It's a shame, as Rougie has always been THE premier producer of quality foie gras. Also a perfect compliment to a caviar plate.

For those of you that might be unfamiliar with "fwa gra", here is a little exerpt from the Rougie website:

"Foie Gras was discovered 5,000 years ago as wild geese migrated for the winter from Scandinavia to the marshes of the Nile Delta

Amazed by the size and taste of the liver of the geese, the Egyptians learned that these animals produced “foie gras” by stocking fat in their liver, giving them the necessary fuel for their long flight. So this is how the secret of Foie Gras came to be known."

  1. Correction: it was not Rougié's decision to phase out goose foie gras. It was USDA standards that had made it impossible to produce goose foie gras for export to the US.
