Q. Are Cherry Valley products suitable for a vegetarian diet?
A. We specialise in the manufacture of ducks and duck based products. None of our products are therefore suitable for a vegetarian diet.
Q. What are the nutritional values of the products Cherry Valley sells?
A. We sell duck in many formats and the nutritional values will depend on the amount of duck, whether it is pre-cooked or whether we have added value to the duck (e.g. included a delicious sauce). Please see the individual product details for further nutritional information.
Q. Do Cherry Valley produce lower fat products?
A. Yes we produce lower fat skinless duck meat that is supplied into sandwich manufacturers.
Q. Is duck fatty and unhealthy for me?
A. Duck, like any poultry animal has a layer of fat around the body to protect it from the elements. Whilst duck fat is lower in saturated fats it also contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.
Q. I have heard that removing the skin from duck leaves a very lean piece of protein, is this true?
A. Yes it is true. Once the skin and fat has been removed from duck the calorie and fat content levels are similar to skinless chicken.
