PATE DE FOIE DE PORC
The Product
Classic pâté en croûte elevated with green peppercorns, which add bright, slightly spicy notes and beautiful visual appeal. The peppercorns create flavor bursts throughout the tender meat.
Origin & Terroir
While green peppercorns are not native to France, French charcutiers were among the first to incorporate them creatively. The pâté tradition itself is deeply French, particularly from Lyon and Burgundy regions.
How to Enjoy
Slice thick to showcase the peppercorn distribution. Serve with mustard and cornichons. The peppery kick pairs excellently with robust red wines like Côtes du Rhône or a peppery Syrah.
Did You Know?
Green peppercorns are unripe pepper berries pickled in brine. Their use in French charcuterie became fashionable in the 1970s and remains a classic. The best versions ensure even peppercorn distribution so each bite has balanced spice.
