SMOKED DUCK BREAST IGP

Origin: France

This exceptional duck breast is expertly smoked using a combination of American and French oak barrels, creating a sophisticated flavour profile that balances the natural richness of the duck with distinctive smoky undertones. The careful smoking process results in tender, buttery meat enhanced by complex natural smoky notes that complement rather than overpower the duck's inherent flavours.

Magret de Canard refers specifically to duck breast from the Moulard breed (known as Mulard in French), a carefully developed cross between the White Peking and Muscovy duck varieties. This selective breeding produces ducks with exceptional meat quality, renowned for their tender, juicy texture and full, rich flavour that has made them the preferred choice for premium French duck products.

These ducks are raised on grain in the renowned poultry-producing regions of Southwest France, where generations of farming expertise ensure optimal quality. The farmers of this region take great care to respect both their traditional methods and the natural landscape, developing sustainable poultry farming practices that preserve the environment whilst maintaining the exceptional standards for which French duck is celebrated worldwide.

To enjoy this smoked magret at its finest, remove it from the refrigerator 10 minutes before consumption when serving cold, allowing it to reach optimal temperature for maximum flavour appreciation. For warm preparations, fry lightly in a pan to gently warm through, or oven bake at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes until heated to your preference.

For the best presentation and eating experience, slice the duck breast as thinly as possible using a sharp knife, which allows the delicate smoky flavours to be fully appreciated whilst showcasing the beautiful texture of this premium French delicacy. The thin slicing also ensures each portion delivers the perfect balance of tender meat and sophisticated smoky character.
