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.

    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.

    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.

    I used this product for my beef wellington. For the first time, I had my food referred to as "exquisite". I know the foie gras was the star of the recipe.

    Rich & Flavorful
    By David S.Verified Reviewer from NY, NY on 2/22/2007
    Pros:
    Good Value
    Best Uses:
    Perfect as an appetizer
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    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.
