A perennial favorite among chefs and home gourmets, our Uncured Smoked Duck Bacon is made with plump Moulard duck breast. Leaner than pork belly, yet juicy and flavorful, our duck bacon is simply seasoned then wood-smoked and sliced, producing a delicious, high-quality nitrite- and nitrate-free bacon.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow waxed poetic about our duck bacon in her cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, and with good reason.

Duck bacon has half the fat of pork bacon but more flavor and better texture than “alternative” bacons, like turkey. It’s also a great choice for people who don’t eat pork.

Her recipe for Duck Ragu, using both duck and duck bacon, can be found here.

Ideas for Cooking with Duck Bacon

Duck bacon can be used just as you’d use pork belly bacon. We recommend cooking it in a skillet or on a griddle. As with pork bacon, start in a cold pan then cook over medium-low heat, until desired doneness. Then drain on paper toweling. Since duck bacon is made from duck breast, it can even be eaten medium-rare, and is better that way. Duck bacon can also be baked, broiled, diced and sautéed, or grilled.
