Duck Fat

Duck Fat is rendered animal fat traditionally used in European cuisines (notably for confits, roasting and frying) valued for its rich flavor and high smoke point. Nutritionally it is almost entirely fat and relatively high in saturated fat at 28g per 100g, but it also contains a substantial share of monounsaturated fats and some vitamin E. Used sparingly, it can add flavor and cooking performance, though because it is energy‑dense and high in saturated fat many people choose plant oils with more unsaturated fats for regular cooking.
