mutton fat

Rendered lamb drippings

Mutton fat is the rendered fat from mature sheep, used in cooking and traditionally in soap and candle making.

It has a stronger flavor than lamb fat and a higher melting point than many other animal fats.

In some cuisines, particularly Central Asian and Middle Eastern, mutton fat is prized for its distinctive taste: The pilaf was enriched with mutton fat.
