Maison Godard: A Legacy of Excellence
Maison Godard, officially known as Godard-Chambon & Marrel, is a family-owned legacy founded in 1978 by Alain and Michèle Godard. Nestled in the heart of Southwest France, a region synonymous with duck farming, the brand has upheld the tradition of exceptional foie gras craftsmanship across generations. With meticulous attention to quality, Maison Godard exemplifies excellence by adhering to rigorous regional sourcing and protected designation protocols.
The Art of Foie Gras Production
Foie gras, a luxury food product, is revered for its unique texture and rich flavor, made from the liver of ducks that have been specially fattened under strict culinary techniques. Maison Godard’s duck foie gras is crafted exclusively with ducks raised by skilled gaveurs in Southwest France, ensuring authenticity and compliance with the Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) standards.
Savoring the Flavor
Maison Godard offers its duck foie gras primarily in the form of a block—a homogeneous paste that provides consistent taste and texture. Each carefully crafted block is packaged in glass jars or tins to ensure freshness, with a net weight of approximately 125g.
Ingredients & Quality Assurance
Crafted with premium ingredients, each block features duck fat liver sourced from Périgord and Southwest France, water, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Occasionally, the foie gras is enhanced with port wine or Armagnac to add richness to its profile. Maison Godard honors local agriculture by sourcing materials within designated regions, ensuring full traceability and compliance with IGP rules.
An Exquisite Sensory Experience
Differentiating itself from goose foie gras, duck foie gras presents a distinct sensory experience with its lower fat content, more intense flavor, and a buttery yet firm mouthfeel. Flavor notes include rich umami aromas balanced with subtle sweetness when fortified wines are integrated.
Serving Suggestions
Traditionally enjoyed cold atop toasted country bread, Maison Godard’s duck foie gras pairs perfectly with mellow white wines like Sauternes or Monbazillac. Complement your experience with lightly dressed salad greens, fig jam, or a sprinkle of fleur de sel.
Nutritional Insight
Though foie gras is inherently high in saturated fats, it remains free from gluten. Consuming it sparingly is advised to maintain a balanced diet. Always check nutritional labels for allergens due to varying sodium nitrite levels.
Our Commitment to Ethics
Despite the controversy surrounding the production process, Maison Godard emphasizes humane and transparent sourcing practices. All ducks are locally sourced, aligning with regional and international regulations.
Innovation and Versatility
Beyond its traditional form, chefs worldwide experiment with Maison Godard’s foie gras across various culinary applications, including salads, terrines, stuffed poultry, and even as an indulgent component in desserts.
