This 240g (8.4oz.) pack contains one range-free skin-on duck breast filet from New Zealand. Duck breast is a popular cut known for its rich flavor, tender lean meat, and high-quality fat. It is also incredibly versatile in the kitchen and can be used for pan-frying, stews, stir-fries, smoking, roasting, BBQ, or grilling. It is especially delicious when pan-seared to medium rare. When cooked on a BBQ or grill, the skin crisps up beautifully while the meat stays moist and juicy.
This duck breast can be used with or without the skin. For a simple preparation that lets the quality of the meat shine, we recommend seasoning it with only high-quality sea salt and black pepper. Serve it with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a fine dining-style meal at home, or marinate it with your favorite seasonings for extra flavor.

The ducks are raised range-free on farms on the North Island of New Zealand. They have year-round access to feed and water, and are sheltered in spacious barns with plenty of room to move naturally. They are fed a wholesome diet of non-GMO soybeans and mixed grains to support their well-being. No subtherapeutic antibiotics or growth hormones are used, and no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used on the farm. The ducks are also never force-fed, fattened, or beak-trimmed. These sheltered barns provide a safe, comfortable, and controlled environment that helps protect the ducks from infection and contamination, including avian influenza A viruses, which are commonly found in wild ducks.

Range-Free Skin-On Duck Breast Recipe Instructions
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or until fully thawed.
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.
