Joe Jurgielewicz & Son, Ltd. (JJS), one of the largest purveyors of Pekin duck to the restaurant industry across the country and in select international markets, introduced fully-cooked Duck Carnitas to assist chefs of all levels with incorporate rich, traditional Mexican flavors into memorable dining experiences. Perfectly spiced and ready to heat and serve, JJS’ Duck Carnitas feature an exquisite taste that makes patrons crave more and become repeat customers.

“Our mouth-watering Duck Carnitas are a perfect way for foodies, home cooks, and chefs of all skill levels to spice up any meal,” said Joey Jurgielewicz III, director of Business Development at Joe Jurgielewicz & Son, Ltd. “We continuously work with our clients to introduce new products that enable them to feature our famous Tasty Duck in selections that are easy to prepare and set them apart in the competitive restaurant industry to drive repeat visits and increase profitability.”

Chefs across all price points prefer JJS’ duck for its perfectly balanced meat-to-fat ratio that provides the famous tender, succulent flavor. The carnitas are cured and slow-roasted in duck fat with 11 spices and Guajillo Chile peppers. Perfect for crisping on a plancha or in a pan, the carnitas are ideal for tacos, burritos, paella, tamales, gourmet salad toppings, empanada filling, or to add a Mexican flare to any culinary creation.

The 91-year-old family business also offers its farm-fresh whole Pekin duck, duck cuts, meal kits, and more delivered directly to consumers’ doorstep through TastyDuck.com. The business is the only veterinarian-owned and operated poultry farm in the country and prides itself on humanely raising its ducks to provide a better life for the animals and better-tasting products.
