The duck breast (magret de canard) is a premium cut taken from the breast of a fattened duck raised for foie gras. With its tender red meat and delicate layer of fat, it offers a rich, refined flavor and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Whether grilled, roasted, or pan-seared, duck breast is best enjoyed medium-rare to preserve its juiciness and depth of taste. A true icon of French gastronomy.
