Unmatched flavor and exceptional quality that is also incredibly versatile in the kitchen. These duck breasts can be used with or without the skin.

The ducks are raised range-free on a farm in Waikato, New Zealand. They have access to feed and water all-year-round and are sheltered in barns that give the ducks plenty of room to roam and move as their hearts desire. They're fed a wholesome diet of non-GMO soy and mixed grains for maximum well-being. Absolutely no use of antibiotics, growth hormones, or drugs. The ducks are also never force-fed, fattened or have their beaks trimmed. The sheltered barns offer a controlled environment for the ducks that effectively shield them from contamination and catching avian influenza A viruses which are otherwise common in wild ducks.

Range-Free Skin-On Duck Breast Recipe Instructions
Defrost the duck breasts to room temperature overnight.
The two duck breasts come attached. Separate them with a knife.
Score the skin in a diamond pattern and rub with spices. We recommend only using olive oil, salt and black pepper for this high quality duck breast.
Preheat fry-pan with olive oil (or butter) until very hot. Sear the skin side first until crispy brown.
Then turn over and reduce the heat to low. Cook slowly while regularly turning.
Once the meat has reached 57℃ (134°F) core temperature, remove from heat and wrap it up in aluminum foil for about 5 minutes for continued internal cooking.
Slice and enjoy high quality and delicious duck breast.
