Why goose fat is valued in the kitchen

Goose fat has a rich taste and aroma that it passes on to dishes. It tolerates high cooking temperatures well, so it suits frying and roasting. In European cuisine, goose fat is the traditional base for confit and the famous potatoes roasted in goose fat.

How to cook with it

Roasting — potatoes, root vegetables and vegetables come out golden and fragrant in goose fat;
Confit — slow cooking in fat is a classic French technique;
Frying — meat, poultry and vegetables in the pan;
Enriching dishes — a spoonful of fat adds flavour to porridges, stewed vegetables and fillings.

You can use goose fat in place of your usual oil wherever you want a richer flavour.

Storage
