Three Cuts. Three Simple Methods.
Duck does not need to be complicated. Match the cut to the right technique.
Start skin-side down in a cold pan and let the fat render gradually before finishing the meat side.
Braise, slow roast, or confit until the meat becomes rich and tender.
Dry the skin well, season generously, and roast until crisp outside and juicy inside.

Is duck very gamey?
Wimmera Gold is described as rich but refined rather than heavily gamey, making it approachable for customers trying duck for the first time.

What is the best duck cut for entertaining?
Choose a whole duck when you want a centrepiece. For a smaller dinner, skin-on duck breast gives you a more restaurant-style presentation.
