Esprit Foie Gras

ESPRIT FOIE GRAS: HISTORY

When we talk about good local products from the French terroir, we can't stop talking about ESPRIT FOIE GRAS and the BOTINES family
For three generations, this family has been cooking duck "mulard" in the tradition of the Gers and turning it into products of exquisite quality: foie gras, duck confits, ready meals and fresh products.
At the origin of it all is a grandmother: Régine Soula, in love with cooking and good food. After a successful career as a cook at the Gers restaurant "Chez Maiginé", she embarked on raising geese and ducks organically, i.e. in the open air and fed on grains, seeds and corn.
His daughter, Ghislaine, together with René Boutines later moved into the family farm to develop the economic activity, thus creating a cannery with all the CE standards. His son, Damien, also joined them and developed the ESPRIT FOIE GRAS brand.
