Mullard

The Mullard is a large (approximately 1 kilogram / 2¼ pounds) crossbreed between a male Muscovy and a female Pekin duck. Widely used in the production of foie gras, Mullard meat has a different texture and a stronger flavor than the Pekin or Muscovy duck. After slaughter the carcass is often hung for a week to improve its tenderness. A magret is the breast of a Mullard duck.
