Choosing a foie gras gift set

Foie gras with a glass of Sauternes is one of the great pairings of French food: the sweetness and lively acidity of the wine balance the richness of the liver. Our foie gras gift sets are built around that pairing, with foie gras made in France, Castaing's Sauternes jelly and a half bottle of Madame de Rayne 2020 Sauternes, all in our black gift box with a magnetic seal. The main choice is duck or goose. Duck foie gras is rich and silky with a rounded flavour, while goose is a little richer, denser and more refined, the connoisseur's choice. The Duck Foie Gras & Sauternes Gift Set (£65.60) and Goose Foie Gras & Sauternes Gift Set (£71.60) each contain a 180g whole lobe in a Kilner jar. The Deluxe versions add a bloc de foie gras, so you can compare the silky entier with the smoother, sliceable bloc. For true foie gras lovers, The Great Foie Gras Gift Set includes duck and goose entier, duck and goose bloc, Sauternes jelly, fig confit and Sauternes. The Ultimate Foie Gras Gift Set adds a jar of foie gras sauce for the kitchen. If the recipient also loves caviar, the Champagne, Caviar & Foie Gras Gift Set pairs goose foie gras with 50g of House Selection caviar and a half bottle of Pol Roger. On arrival, lift the foie gras out of the box and refrigerate it. Take it out about 20 minutes before serving so the flavour opens up, and slice with a thin knife dipped in hot water. Serve on lightly toasted brioche with a spoonful of Sauternes jelly or fig confit, and chill the Sauternes to around 8 to 10°C. A 180g jar serves three to four as a starter.

Frequently asked

Contact us
What wine goes with foie gras?

Sauternes is the classic choice, as its sweetness and acidity balance the richness. Every one of our foie gras gift sets includes a half bottle of Madame de Rayne 2020 Sauternes.

What is the difference between foie gras entier and bloc?

Entier is made from whole lobes and has the finest, silkiest texture. Bloc is smooth and even, which makes it easy to slice neatly for starters and canapés.

Which foie gras gift set should I buy?

For a starter for three or four, choose the duck or goose Sauternes set. To compare textures, go Deluxe, and for a real foie gras lover, The Great or Ultimate set.

How should a foie gras gift be stored?

Refrigerate the foie gras as soon as the gift arrives; the box has a magnetic seal so it can be put back together afterwards. The Sauternes and Sauternes jelly can be kept in a cool cupboard until needed.

What is Sauternes jelly?

Our Confit de Sauternes from Castaing is a wine jelly made with 50% Sauternes. It is delicately sweet and is the classic French accompaniment to foie gras.
