What is Magret de Canard?


This is from the Moulard duck breed specifically raised for their liver to make foie gras. It has rich aroma of foe gras and slightly sweet fat. So much juice and fat balance well together, you can enjoy the taste of fancy restaurants at home. It's different from Aigamo ducks.


Difference between Magret de Canard & normal duck meat


Aigamo is a cross-breed of domestic ducks and wild ones in Japan. On the other hand, Magret de Canard is cut when they take foe gras from Mulard duck which is why it has a good amount of fat. Especially breast is close to foe gras which means you can enjoy the rich aroma of foe gras.
