The Alsatian goose, or l'oie d'Alsace, is a breed of goose developed in the Alsace Region of France. This is a small goose breed used primarily to develop fatty livers.

Uses

Geese selected for this purpose have shorter legs and wider bodies, allowing development of internal organs, especially the liver, used for making pâté de foie gras.

Meat
