goose fat

Rendered waterfowl grease

Goose fat is the rendered fat from geese, prized in cooking for its rich flavor and high smoke point.

It's traditionally used for roasting potatoes, confit, and other dishes where a savory depth is desired: potatoes roasted in goose fat.

The fat is shelf-stable when strained and refrigerated.
