Deep-freezing is a very quick freezing, in which the products subjected to temperatures below -40 ° C, preserve maximum physical structure of food products for long periods of time. The conservation of frozen products should be at temperatures below – 18 ° C.

Semi-preserved

The semi-preserved foie gras in vacuum-packed, canned or glass jar needs to be stored under refrigeration (0 to + 5 ° C). Refrigeration is the most widespread food conservation. It applies both to fresh products, as cured, and the semi-cooked dishes. Its main advantage is that does not produce changes in food. It has been cooked at low temperature and preferential consumption period from the date of manufacture is usually less than a year and a half.

Preserved products are fresh food products that have been sterilized, sometimes cooked, and placed in an sterile container, sealed durably and perfectly airtight. Storage in a cool, dry place allows them to enjoy preferential consumption periods up to 4 years.
