Notes
The use of duck, goose or chicken liver is very popular in some European countries, particularly in Northern Europe. In the tests we conducted, we noted that the addition of Aceto Sopraffino Riserva to liver pâté resulted in improved aroma and palate persistency of the overall flavour. We opted for use of chicken liver as they are much easier to find. Rabbit – goose – duck – turkey – veal liver can of course also be used here instead. Aceto Sopraffino Riserva to be added raw.
