Bacon fat is rendered fat from cooked bacon, typically a creamy white solid at room temperature with a rich, smoky flavor. It contains a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated fats like oleic acid, which may support heart health in moderation. Historically, bacon fat has roots in American, European, and Southern cuisines, where it’s been cherished as a flavorful cooking medium for frying, sautéing, or adding depth to dishes. While its savory taste makes it popular, bacon fat is calorie-dense and high in saturated fat, which should be balanced within a healthy diet. It also contains trace amounts of sodium and other compounds from the bacon itself. When consumed responsibly, bacon fat can be a flavorful addition to meals, but excessive use may contribute to cholesterol buildup and cardiovascular concerns.
