Can foie gras be frozen?

Freezing depends on the type of foie gras product:

-Raw foie gras (whole lobes or foie gras morsels): Yes, these products are typically sold frozen and should be kept in the freezer until ready to use. Thaw slowly under refrigeration before cooking for best results.
-Cooked foie gras (such as torchon, terrine, mousses, parfaits, and rillettes): Freezing is not recommended, as it can negatively affect the texture, structure, and overall quality. These products should be kept refrigerated and consumed fresh.
-Shelf-stable foie gras (canned or jarred): Should not be frozen. Store unopened in a cool, dry place, and refrigerate after opening.

For the best flavor and texture, we recommend consuming foie gras according to its intended storage method rather than freezing when not necessary.
