About Smoked Duck Breast 250g

We source our duck from specialist farms and French producers who prioritise breed, welfare and flavour above yield. In particular, we select every bird and cut for its provenance and the depth of flavour that breed and husbandry produce. As a result, the duck we deliver ranges from outstanding British free-range birds to the finest French regional breeds. Furthermore, duck quality varies enormously by breed and production method. However, most supermarket duck producers prioritise speed and uniformity. In particular, French breeds like Challans and Barbary observe entirely different standards. They produce meat of a completely different character. Additionally, Magret – the breast of a foie gras duck – is a distinct ingredient rather than simply a large duck breast. That distinction matters and we make it clearly on every product. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Smoked Duck Breast 250g From Us

Cooking duck well requires understanding its unique character. In contrast to chicken, duck has a thick layer of subcutaneous fat that must render slowly during cooking. As a result, the finest duck preparations always start with the skin and work with the fat rather than fighting it. Furthermore, duck breast is best served pink – overcooking destroys the texture and makes it tough. However, the leg is the opposite. In particular, duck legs benefit from long, slow cooking that renders the fat completely and produces falling, tender meat. Moreover, rendered duck fat is one of the great cooking fats – always retain it from any duck preparation for roasting potatoes. Additionally, a very hot dry pan is the most important tool for cooking duck breast correctly. That initial rendering period in a cold pan moved to high heat is the foundation of good duck cookery.
