Beck & Bulow's Muscovy hen duck breast is a skin-on, trimmed breast cut, sold in 1.5-2 lb packages. Muscovy is leaner and less fatty than Pekin duck, with a deeper color and a beef-like flavor, so it suits anyone who wants a red-meat-style poultry cut rather than a fatty, confit-style bird. It is a pasture-raised, small-farm product, which puts it against commodity duck breasts on sourcing and trim rather than on convenience. Buyers rate it highly for flavor and quality, though some find the breasts small for the weight and the skin variable.

Beck & Bulow Muscovy Hen Duck Breast comes in a package of 1.5 to 2 lbs. The cuts are trimmed and have a rich, deep color, visible marbling and a tender texture.
The duck breast suits a variety of cooking methods. One suggested method is to pan-sear it skin side down so the fat renders and the skin crisps, then finish it in the oven to the desired doneness. A fruit-based sauce or glaze pairs well with its rich flavor.
Duck breast is a source of high-quality protein and contains iron and B vitamins. It is slightly higher in fat than chicken or turkey. The ducks come from farms that follow ethical and humane practices, with free roaming and access to a natural diet.
