Chicken Fat, Schmaltz – Very Soft, Creamy Rendered Fat, Pasture Raised Cage-Free

From Greek farms that raise chickens on pasture.

Raising chickens in pastures allows them to roam and eat grass, insects, and other forage in the field.

Rendered chicken fat adds rich flavor to many recipes and uses.

What is Schmaltz?

Schmaltz typically refers specifically to rendered chicken fat.

Schmaltz has a buttery chicken flavor with a mild aroma and is often used in hearty recipes such as stews or roasts.

Fatty Acid Profile:

The fatty acid profile of chicken fat consists primarily of:

• MUFA (Monounsaturated Fatty Acids) – The dominant fatty acids in chicken fat.
• SFA (Saturated Fatty Acids) – Provide structure and stability.
• PUFA (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) – Present in smaller amounts.

Uses in Cooking:

• Essential in traditional chopped liver recipes.
• Perfect for cooking potatoes and other root vegetables.
• Delicious as an alternative to oil for making stovetop popcorn.
• Great for browning meats or caramelizing onions due to its medium-high smoke point (higher than butter).
• Can replace oil or butter in recipes to add a rich, savory flavor.

Uses in Skincare and Haircare:

Chicken fat can also be used as a natural alternative to nut butter in skincare and haircare.

• Moisturizes hair and skin while providing essential vitamins and nutrients.
