Foie Gras is legal in California—as long as it comes from out of state!
If you’d like to indulge in this delicacy during the holiday season, you may need to be reminded that it’s available for purchase in California, but it must be shipped from out of state or abroad. To help you navigate this, we’ve curated a list of trusted producers and online stores where you can legally order foie gras for delivery in California. Since resale in restaurants is still prohibited, enjoying foie gras means indulging at home this holiday season!
Hudson Valley Foie GrasGet it straight from the source! Located on the East Coast, Hudson Valley Farms has been the first foie gras farm in the United States since 1985 and the renowned producer that supplies restaurants and caterers nationwide. Their selection includes foie gras in every form: mousse, terrine, raw slices for searing, whole foie gras for cooking, and the exquisite Foie Gras au Torchon.
The Torchon of Foie Gras is a perfect holiday-ready treat: cooked sous-vide for the perfect texture and flavor. Simply plate it, garnish it, and serve it on toasted brioche with a fig spread or a sweet and spicy preserve like their Mostarda Cremona, which combines peaches, pears, apricots, figs, plums, pineapple, and cherries. Pair it with a sweet, rich wine to complement its creamy texture and delicate flavor.
Should you prefer to cook your own foie gras, Hudson Valley Farms offers beautifully deveined lobes here. Known for their commitment to sustainability, the farm follows the philosophy of “nothing must be spoiled” (everything is good in duck) — so you can also find delicious rillettes, bone broths, and more. Explore their full range of products on their website.
