Corn-Fed Dombes Duck, Whole: A Gourmet Delight!

Our corn-fed Dombes duck is a premium choice for those who appreciate gourmet poultry. This whole duck, raised on a diet rich in corn, offers a unique and delectable flavour profile that sets it apart from other ducks. The corn diet imparts a subtle sweetness to the meat, making it exceptionally tasty and rich. The duck's flesh is tender, juicy and beautifully marbled with fat, ensuring a moist and succulent eating experience. The skin crisps up wonderfully when cooked, providing a delightful contrast to the tender meat beneath.
