Les Trois Petits Cochons started in 1975 as a small charcuterie in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, where founders Alain Sinturel and Jean Pierre Pradié cooked and offered pâtés and other French specialties to the neighborhood gourmets. They soon received rave reviews by such notables as Craig Clairborne, Mimi Sheraton, James Beard, and others. Once word got out, they began making pâtés for other restaurants around Manhattan. By 1990, demand forced them to expand their operation. Today, they make their pâtés in their kitchen, House of Bricks, located in Wilkes Barre, PA. Les Trois Petits Cochons is recognized for its excellence as a leader in the specialty food business and industry it helped to create. They use all-natural, high quality ingredients, and craft small, handmade batches.

This mousse is made with foie gras, a delicate specialty from the southwest region of France. To develop the silkiness of this mousse, Les Trois Petits Cochons' chefs blend the foie gras with grapes and Sauternes wine.

Contains soy products.

Comments about Mousse de Canard au Foie Gras:

Whipped velvety smooth and exactly what I was looking for with a rich, complicated flavor. A little goes a LONG way though so unless you have several people partaking or you're going to be eating it day and night, I suggest it's best for entertaining. Great spread on plain melba snacks which can hold the weight and not compete with the flavor.

Very nice but not worth the price difference (almost twice) I paid vs the Mousse Royale that I purchased at the same time. So in the future it will be two Mousse Royales instead of one Mousse de Canard.

Comments about Mousse de Canard au Foie Gras:

Having lived in Europe for over forty years, I've had many brands of pate de goie gras. This stands up to any of them. We used this as a starter in our meal served with brioche, confit d'ognion, and a good Sauterne. It was most enjoyable.

Comments about Mousse de Canard au Foie Gras:

I enjoy wursts and pates and this was of the highest quality. The slight sweetness (from the grapes) and the aspic (flavored gelatin top) compliments the foie gras in a wonderful way.

Excellent product !

Comments about Mousse de Canard au Foie Gras:

I like to warm my pates slightly as I believe it lends to their aroma and creaminess. I did so with this and found that the Les Trois Petits Cochons Foie Gras lended itself perfectly to toast points. It was fragrant and creamy with the sweetness of the grape and Sauternes subtly noticable beneath the richness of the foie gras.
