animal fats
Grease from creatures
Animal fats are lipids derived from animal tissue—the rendered or extracted fatty substances from meat, dairy, and other animal sources.
Lard comes from pigs, tallow from cattle or sheep, schmaltz from poultry.
Once standard in cooking, animal fats lost favor to vegetable oils amid health concerns, though some have returned to culinary fashion.
The recipe calls for animal fats rather than butter.
