Fried foie gras

Frying or sautéing delicate products such as vegetables, fish, scallops and even foie gras with Mycryo® gives amazing end results. Mycryo® is pure cocoa butter in powder form and has the great properties to really seal your ingredients. This way all the flavours and juices are naturally contained during frying. Compared to butter or olive oil Mycryo® has a neutral taste and doesn't drown out or affect the natural flavours of your ingredients. Simply sprinkle the Mycryo® straight onto the ingredients and fry in a hot pan. Clean, simple and delicious.
