Large free range Peking cross duck
Extra large slow-grown, 'total-freedom' free-range duck, with giblets.
These ducks are truly something special! Allowed to live a fully free-range life with the freedom to explore and graze their pastured enclosures. They are allowed to grow naturally and slowly ensuring the meat is sweet and richly flavoured with a good layer of delicious fat. Fantastic for an indulgent roast. Game-hung for extra flavour the succulent and richly flavoured dark meat is perfectly complimented by a sharp fruity sauce and an intense gravy made using the giblets. The fat and roasting juices will also help give you perfect crisp-edged and fluffy roast potatoes.
Alternatively why not pick up a knife and turn your hand to a bit of butchery to transform your whole duck into jointed pieces to make a range of meals. The breast fillets are delicious thinly sliced and served rare whilst the legs are great in casseroles or confit. You'll also end up with a carcass and giblets to make a rich stock or soup base.
We buy our free-range ducks in small batches and fresh-freeze them to ensure quality and freshness. They will be delivered frozen, and once unpacked can be returned to the freezer, or allowed to defrost thoroughly in the fridge before cooking. Once defrosted they can be treated as fresh and should be cooked within 5 days. Any meals cooked with the duck after it has ben defrosted are perfectly safe to refreeze
