The meat of the pasture duck is rather dark and firm. Due to the natural feeding of our pasture ducks and unlimited free range, the meat is beautifully firm and low in fat. It is ideally suited for a delicious feast.
Meat knowledge
Fitmeat's pastured ducks are a premium delicacy. In addition to the whole animals, we also supply the popular duck breasts. The animals are reared in the wild and have a particularly good meat consistency. The skin becomes very crispy when roasted and the meat stays nice and juicy. Farmer Bernhard from Lower Austria carefully rears his ducks in the meadows.
Duck meat from Fitmeat:Our pastured ducks are a real delicacy
As well as whole ducks, we also supply the popular duck breast. The meat is extremely juicy and the skin is particularly crispy when roasted! Just as it should be.
In our online shop you will find various cuts such as duck breast, duck leg or whole animals for festive roasting.
Duck or goose?
What are the differences?
In principle, ducks and geese are related. However, the meat or structure is quite different. If you prefer lean meat or want a low-calorie version, duck is the right choice.
Why poultry from Fitmeat?
We are also committed to the highest quality and real taste in our poultry! That is why we source 100% of our poultry from selected small farmers who raise their animals with care and passion. The animals are reared in a natural way, which contributes to the quality of the meat.
In the beautiful Waldviertel region of Lower Austria, our chickens and geese are given the best possible life. With all-natural, free-range feed and unlimited freedom to roam or swim in the lake.
Quantity per person
We recommend one pasture duck for three to four people.
Herkunft und Haltung
Our ducks grow up in the marvellous Upper Austria (Salzkammergut) under the best conditions. On the large property, they can waddle across the lush meadows at will and help themselves to the natural food. Bathing fun in the nearby pond is also on the programme for the ducks - but only in a flock, of course.
The first-class conditions boost the quality of the meat. Thanks to the freedom of movement and the feed, the ducks develop a wonderful flavour of their own without putting on too much fat.
In general, ducks contain less fat than geese. If you want to save on calories, for example, it is best to choose duck breast without skin. Duck meat also contains significantly more iron than goose. Thanks to its magnesium and vitamin B1 content, the meat provides micronutrients that the human body needs.
