ROUGIE Duck Fat 11.28 oz

This rendered duck fat from Canada-raised ducks is ideal for fried potatoes or homemade duck confit. A guilt-free pleasure, this all-natural, 100 percent duck fat is similar in composition to olive oil and full of unsaturated fatty acids. A favorite of the French, duck fat may thus may be a factor, along with red wine, in explaining the famous “French paradox” of how the French are able to eat so luxuriously yet remain so healthy.
