Is magret duck breast worth the price?

At $25.99 for a 13-14 oz Moulard breast, you pay for a breed that gives more meat and richer flavor than common Pekin duck. One breast makes a full steak-style main for one or two people.

How does Moulard differ from regular duck breast?

Moulard is a cross of Pekin and Muscovy, so the breast is larger and the meat redder and beefier. It is the breed most French magret is made from.

How should I cook it?

Score the skin in a crosshatch, start it cold skin-side down in a dry pan over medium heat, and render the fat slowly. Finish to medium-rare, about 130°F, and rest it before slicing.

How long does it keep?

Fresh, use or freeze it within 3-5 days of arrival. Frozen, it holds for months; thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.

One Moulard duck breast, about 13-14 oz, shipped fresh or frozen depending on the seller. No sauces or seasonings are included.

Our take on the Gourmet Moulard Magret Duck Breast

A single Moulard duck breast in the French magret style, raised without growth hormones or added antibiotics and aged on the bone. Moulard is the breed behind most authentic magret, bred for a thick breast and rich, beef-like red meat. It is built to be scored and pan-seared skin-side down like a steak. At $25.99 at D'Artagnan as of November 5, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.
