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.
Which duck cut is easiest for beginners?
Duck legs are the most forgiving. Their fat and connective tissue suit slower cooking methods such as braising, roasting and confit.
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.
