Gras Foie
A reversal of status quo.
We branded a sustainable alternative to foie gras that flips the name, the ethics, and the accessibility of luxury upside down.

Foie gras is a culinary icon, but it comes with ethical baggage and shrinking supply chains. Nippon Ham developed a technology to transform underutilized chicken liver into a rich pate that rivals the real thing. The challenge was to launch this product not just as a "substitute" or a "fake" but as a superior, modern evolution of a classic delicacy.

We named it "Gras Foie". By literally reversing the spelling of "Foie Gras", we signaled a reversal of common sense. We turned an ethically complex ingredient into a sustainable one and transformed a scarce luxury into an accessible joy. The branding positions the product as a new staple for the home chef. It invites consumers to upgrade their daily meals with a clear conscience, proving that the future of luxury is defined by resourcefulness rather than excess.
