AFTER LONG RESEARCH
The development of Happy Foie
After Tobias came into contact with conventional foie gras at an early age, he was always torn between the fantastic taste and the versatile use on the one hand, as well as the animal suffering caused by stuffing on the other hand.
RESEARCH IN THE FOOD LAB
In order to create an alternative to conventional foie gras, Tobias began developing Happy Foie in 2016 with the aim of creating a comparable taste experience in organic quality and avoiding the ethical problem of force feeding .
THE RESULT
After months of work in the food lab at Münster University of Applied Sciences and numerous blind tastings
we are proud to present the result:
In a process specially developed for this purpose, the liver of healthy animals is enriched with valuable fats and enriched with a lot of love, to get a taste experience at eye level and to completely avoid stuffing the animals.
