Rougie - Duck & Pork Pate with Orange 80g

Maison Rougié began in 1875 in southwestern France, when a small workshop founded by the Rougié family quickly became a gathering place for the region’s gourmets. Under Léonce Rougié and later his son Jean, the house earned international renown by the 1950s, and its traditional expertise remains rooted in Sarlat, in the heart of the Périgord Noir. Today Rougié is part of the Euralis cooperative and is a trusted partner to chefs worldwide, including as a founding partner of the Bocuse d’Or Winners’ Academy.

This pâté draws its inspiration from duck à l’orange, one of the great classics of French cuisine. Rougié combines duck meat, duck liver, and pork with cream and eggs, then adds fresh oranges and a splash of orange liqueur along with onion, garlic, pepper, and nutmeg. The mixture is gently cooked and sealed in a glass jar, which helps preserve its aromas and keeps it shelf stable until opened. This version is produced in Canada.

The flavor is deeply savory, with earthy duck and hearty pork underscored by the creamy richness of liver. Bright orange notes add a gentle sweetness and lift, while warm spice lingers on the smooth, spreadable finish.
