Tradition and Future on the Same Plate: How Foie Gras Inspires Young Chefs in Seville

Here’s the text translated into American English:

At the Hospitality School of Seville, the future of Spanish cuisine comes to life in its classrooms, where students have incorporated an essential ingredient into their training: Foie Gras. This iconic product was the star of a recent masterclass that sparked both interest and creativity, as part of the European campaign ‘Foie Gras in Reels.’

The Interprofessional Association of Fatty Palmipeds (Interpalm) promotes this initiative, which aims to promote the education and awareness of Foie Gras among new generations of chefs. In its second year, the campaign has arrived in Seville with the goal of introducing future professionals to the rich tradition, flavors, and culinary techniques surrounding this product, considered a hallmark of local gastronomy.

Enrique de Prado, president of Interpalm, opened the session by highlighting the importance of young chefs understanding and respecting a key product for the tradition and rural economy of Spain. During the masterclass, students had the opportunity to learn various techniques for handling and preparing Foie Gras, as well as to test their creativity in recipes that blend classic and modern styles.

Under the guidance of chef José Manuel de Torres, a professor at the school, students participated in practical demonstrations focused on three signature dishes: mi-cuit Foie Gras, roasted Foie Gras with aromatic herbs, and grilled Foie Gras with sea salt flakes. “The goal is to show that Foie Gras can be enjoyed in both simple dishes and sophisticated creations, always offering a delightful surprise,” Torres emphasized.

At the end of the day, participants received the Foie Gras Manual, a comprehensive resource about the Spanish market that includes recipes and culinary techniques. This manual underscores Spain’s position as the fourth largest producer of this delicate product in Europe, as well as its commitment to sustainability and animal welfare.

For those seeking more information about the campaign, they are invited to visit the website rutadelfoiegras.es and follow the associated social media accounts, ensuring that the rich culinary tradition of Europe remains alive and shared among new generations of chefs.
