Facts & History: Foie Gras in The
US
The popularity of gourmet food in the United
States has skyrocketed since the early 1990’s. Foie gras is
available at gourmet restaurants throughout the country, thanks
to producers like New York’s Hudson Valley Foie Gras, and
California’s Sonoma Foie Gras. Hudson Valley is by far the
largest American producer, producing and selling over 7000 livers
a week. In the US, almost all foie gras comes from Moullard ducks,
which is a hybrid of a male Muscovy and a female Pekin. Foie gras
sold in the US as “North American” comes from Canada.
