Ducks and geese are part of the ancient poultry farming tradition of the province of Girona, and farms used to fatten them up for the festa major and the long Christmas festivities. In 1976, this knowledge of ducks, plus our proximity to France, led to the first attempts to produce foie gras but the experiment was a failure. In 1982 a group of young entrepreneurs started today’s foie gras industry, when Mulard chicks were smuggled in. The Moulard duck is an American-Asian hybrid, the result of crossing a Pekin duck and a Muscovy, or Barbary, drake, native to the Andes.<\/h6>\n

L’Emporda\u0300 is the main producing area. Ducks are also bred to produce foie gras in the La Selva and Girone\u0300s regions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The foie gras industry is not limited to the sale of raw liver; it has progressed to take advantage of the whole animal, transforming it into gastronomically valuable products, not limited to fresh food. Confits, ham, tinned gizzards, stuffed neck and, in recent years, pate\u0301s combined with other ingredients all confirm the growing creativity of this sector.<\/p>\n
