About this product

Schmaltz: the chicken fat that made grandmother's cooking taste the way it did.

Rendered fat from 100% organic, free-range chickens, kettle-rendered in small batches and fine-filtered. Schmaltz has the richness of duck fat with a milder, more aromatic flavor, and it is the traditional fat behind matzo balls, chopped liver, roast potatoes and crisp-skinned roast chicken.

Chicken fat is mostly monounsaturated, with a smoke point that handles everyday sauteing and roasting. This one is USDA Organic, which matters for poultry fat more than most things because what the bird eats ends up in the fat. Two ingredients: organic chicken fat and organic rosemary extract.

Who this is for

  • You are replacing seed oils and want a mild fat for everyday cooking
  • You keep kosher or cook traditional Jewish dishes
  • You roast vegetables and want them to taste like they came out of a real kitchen
  • You want organic animal fat without rendering it yourself

How to use

Saute onions, fry eggs, roast potatoes, or stir a spoonful into rice or soup. 7.5 oz glass jar. Naturally shelf stable; refrigerate after opening for longest life.

Fatworks has rendered fats from small U.S. family farms since 2011, putting to use a nourishing part of the animal that farms once threw away.
