Duck is a meat with a more intense flavour, rich in protein, containing a higher fat content compared to white poultry, which gives it its characteristic juiciness and aroma. It is ideal for roasts, confits and stews, ensuring high yield in professional kitchens.
The duck leg corresponds to the lower part of the bird, including the layer of fat under the skin. It features dark, firm and very succulent meat, with the intense flavour characteristic of duck. It should be slow-roasted or confit, allowing the fat to melt and the meat to become tender. Key in recipes such as roast duck with rice and flavour-rich stews.
Duck breast, also known as magret, comes from the front of the bird and includes the skin with fat. It is red meat, with a firm texture and a sophisticated flavour. It should be grilled, starting with the skin side down so that the fat melts and the meat stays succulent. Usually served in thin slices as an exquisite main course.
