Duck and Pork Pate with Orange

This is a smooth, finely blended pâté that balances savory richness with bright citrus notes. Made with duck fat, duck liver, and pork, the mixture is gently seasoned and enriched with cream and eggs to achieve a silky, spreadable texture that feels refined yet approachable.

Orange and orange liqueur add a refreshing lift, cutting through the richness with subtle sweetness and aromatic freshness rather than overt citrus intensity. Best served slightly chilled, this pâté spreads easily and works well as a composed appetizer, layered canapé base, or elegant addition to a charcuterie selection where contrast and balance are key.

Rougié’s culinary heritage dates back to 1875 in southwestern France, where the family built its reputation through close collaboration with chefs and a commitment to classic French technique. Today, Rougié pâtés remain a staple in professional kitchens, valued for their consistency, craftsmanship, and refined flavor profiles.
