D'Artagnan Rohan duck breast is a boneless, skin-on breast from a heritage Mallard crossbreed raised cage-free in New York State. Each pack holds four single breasts, and the meat is mild, tender and juicy with a fat layer meant to be scored and rendered crisp. It is sold frozen or fresh with no added water, hormones or antibiotics, and it carries a soy allergen. It suits cooks who want restaurant-style duck at home without breaking down a whole bird; compared with generic supermarket duck, the heritage breed and consistent sizing are the draw, while the soy allergen and the need to score and render the fat are the trade-offs.
