Primaduck, a better alternative for pork and chicken

What's your favorite food made from duck or duckling meat? Mine is Foie Gras of course! Not just because it sounds "alta" but because it is a speacilty food, a very rare and delicious delicacy.

Not until I get to try Prima Duck ham in 2019 in one of the Christmas party I attended in BGC. You know, I haven't always liked duck meat because of the smell and the aftertaste, but that whole duck ham from Prima Duck was really delicious, it has no unusual taste and odor. It is as good as the usual hams we spread on our table every Yuletide season.

And now, thay are not only offering whole duck ham but other types of ham, tapa, longganisa, bacon and a lot more food products that can be enjoyed from sun up to sun down.

Duck meat is white meat, which means it has lesser fat content than most red meats. If you want to eat healthy but can't live without meat, Primaduck is a better choice.
