About Duck fat

Duck fat is a flavorful cooking oil commonly used in French cuisine and prized for its versatility. Rendered from duck meat and skin, it is rich in monounsaturated fats, which may support heart health when consumed in moderation. Duck fat is free of trans fats and offers a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, roasting, and sautéing. While it imparts a luxurious taste to dishes, it is calorie-dense and should be used sparingly as part of a balanced diet. Unlike plant-based oils, it contains cholesterol and saturated fats, which may impact cardiovascular health if overused. However, its nutrient profile is considered superior to many animal fats, offering subtle flavors and a smooth texture. Duck fat remains a staple in traditional recipes, adding depth to roasted potatoes, vegetables, and meats while offering a gourmet alternative to oils like butter or lard.
