Pasture-raised ducks are expensive to raise and therefore very rare, so artisanal producer Fatworks, based in Colorado, has a very limited amount of this premium duck fat. It is the only pasture-raised duck fat sold nationally and far superior to the frozen tubs of duck fat found in grocery stores. The company kettle-renders and filters their product in small batches for a pure, clear-tasting product. And the extra effort is worth it: Pasture-Raised Duck Fat has a savory, nutty richness, elevating the most basic foods with an indescribable depth.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
There are few things better than potatoes fried in duck fat or braised lentils flavored with garlic and onions cooked in duck fat. Use when making hearty soups and stews, or fry croutons in duck fat to add to hearty, bitter greens.
