About this product

Description

Duck fat, often referred to as "liquid gold" by chefs and food enthusiasts, is a culinary treasure that elevates dishes to unparalleled heights of flavour and indulgence. This luxurious fat is rendered from the rich, succulent skin of ducks and is prized for its unique ability to enhance the taste and texture of a wide array of culinary creations. At room temperature, duck fat appears as a silky, pale yellow or ivory-coloured liquid. When gently heated, it transforms into a translucent, aromatic elixir that releases a seductive fragrance reminiscent of roasted duck, with subtle notes of nuttiness and earthiness.
  • What sets duck fat apart is its incredibly high smoke point, which means it can withstand high cooking temperatures without breaking down or producing acrid smoke. This characteristic makes it ideal for roasting, frying, and sautéing, lending an exquisite crispiness and rich, savoury flavour to everything it touches.
  • Duck fat has the remarkable ability to enhance the natural flavours of ingredients. When used to roast vegetables, it imparts a golden, caramelized exterior while preserving the vegetables' tenderness and earthy notes. It elevates the humble potato to extraordinary heights, creating irresistibly crispy, golden roast potatoes.
  • In the world of poultry, duck fat is an essential ingredient for confit preparations, where duck legs are gently simmered in their own fat to achieve unparalleled succulence. It's also a secret weapon in pastry-making, where it adds an unmatched flakiness to pie crusts and a delicate richness to pastries.
