The apple, the fruit of temptation:

What is it about the humble apple that so often in legends we find it such an irresistible temptation? Undoubtedly the fruit of Eden is the most famous apple in history. The fruit of knowledge that leads Eve to tempt Adam, causing an irremediable rift between humans and God. But the Abrahamic religions are not the only ones to use this fruit to sow discord.

In Homer’s Iliad, it is a golden apple, created by the goddess of chaos Eris, that triggers the epic Trojan War. The apple, with the words “for the most beautiful” written on it, ends up in the hands of Paris of Troy. The goddesses Aphrodite, Athena and Hera try to convince the young prince to recognise them with this honour, offering him gifts in return. It is Aphrodite’s gift, the unconditional love of the most beautiful (mortal) woman in the world, that causes the conflict, that woman being Helen of Sparta.

The apple of Eris was not the only golden apple in Greek mythology, for one of Herakles’ tasks was to steal the apples of immortality from Hera’s garden.

The apple as the fruit of immortality is also a recurring symbol in Celtic mythology. The apple tree was the sacred tree under which the Druids gathered, and the paradise of warriors fallen in battle was Pomorum, an island full of apple trees where it never snowed or rained.

From Viking legends to fairy tales, countless stories use this fruit as a source of conflict. If for nothing else, this serves to attest to the irresistible taste of this fruit, which endures through time as a temptation to all who taste it.

Our Foie Gras tasting tips:

  • How to get the best texture in Foie Gras?:

To obtain the best texture for your Foie Gras, place it in the refrigerator one hour before serving. This will give the Foie Gras the ideal consistency for tasting. Allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

  • Which bread to use with Foie Gras?:

Foie Gras has subtle flavours that can be hidden by very toasted breads. Our recommendation is to use simple flavoured breads such as peasant bread. Slightly fruity breads such as ginger can add an extra touch of flavour without overpowering the Foie Gras.

  • Which wine goes best with Foie Gras?:

The pairing of Foie Gras does not have just one correct answer. At Relais Gourmet, we recommend the following options:

    • Pairing Foie Gras with sweet wines:

Wines such as Muscatel or Malvasia, or the French Monbazillac, Jurançon, or late Alsace, are perfect accompaniments to Foie Gras. Their natural acidity helps to harmonise the combination and makes them easy to digest.

    • Pairing Foie Gras with dry white wines:

Instead of harmonising, the texture of wines such as the fruity Catalan Xarel-lo, or the French Condrieu or Crozes-Hermitage, generate an interesting and elegant contrast on the palate.

    • Pairing Foie Gras with Champagne:

Lightly vinous champagnes are a very successful combination with our Foie Gras. The bubbles lend lightness to the apéritif, while their smoothness helps to reinforce the gourmet subtlety of good Foie Gras. We especially recommend bottles made with Pinot Noir or bottles of cava, as they are less acidic than champagne made with Chardonnay.

    • Pairing Foie Gras with red wine:

In the south-east of France, it is not uncommon to combine Foie Gras with full-bodied red wines. Irouleguy, Cahors, Madiran or Bergerac are some good red wines that will reinforce its flavour with the subtlety of Foie Gras. In Spanish wines, a good red wine from Ribera del Duero is a safe bet. When pairing with red wine, it is especially recommended to use a very simple tasting bread.
