Barbarie Duck Breast

About the product

Barbarie duck breast is an exclusive poultry cut with tender, succulent meat and a rich, elegant flavour. Unlike our wild game birds, Barbarie duck is not wild but a farmed duck prized for the exceptional quality of its meat. The generously sized breasts and fine layer of fat make Barbarie duck breast a true luxury product – an excellent choice for special occasions and restaurant-style cooking at home.

Barbarie duck has darker, more flavourful meat than chicken, while its taste is milder and more rounded than that of wild duck. The layer of fat beneath the skin is an important part of the experience, adding both flavour and juiciness while allowing the skin to become beautifully crisp when cooked correctly.

For the best result, gently score the skin in a diamond pattern without cutting into the meat. Place the duck breast skin-side down in a cold or only slightly heated frying pan and gradually bring up the heat, allowing the fat to slowly render while the skin becomes golden and crisp. Turn the breast and briefly sear the meat side before finishing over a low heat or in the oven. Allow it to rest well before slicing. Serve in thin slices with the crispy skin intact.

Barbarie duck breast pairs beautifully with classic flavours such as orange, thyme, rosemary, mushrooms and roasted root vegetables. Cherries, plums, figs and other fruity or sweet-and-tart accompaniments are also excellent partners for the rich duck meat.

For anyone who appreciates premium meat and exclusive poultry cuts, Barbarie duck breast is an excellent choice – a luxurious ingredient that can deliver an elegant, restaurant-quality result with relatively simple preparation.

The meat is delivered vacuum-packed and frozen.
