About Duck egg yolk

Duck egg yolk is the yellow-to-orange centre of a duck egg, enclosed by the white. It is rich in fat and has a thick, smooth texture when raw; heat makes it progressively firmer. Its colour and size vary with the egg and the bird’s diet, so colour alone does not identify a particular product.

Separated duck yolk is used to enrich sauces, custards, baked goods, and other preparations, and can also be cooked as part of the intact egg. Fresh yolk differs from salted, cured, frozen, or dried yolk products, which have undergone processing and may behave differently in cooking.
