Active Ingredients & Science

Goose fat mainly consists of triglycerides where monounsaturated fatty acids, primarily oleic acid (omega-9), are the dominant fatty acid. In addition, the fat also contains saturated fatty acids and a smaller proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This composition contributes to the fat's stability when heated and its characteristic consistency. Small amounts of natural fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E may remain in the fat depending on the refining process, which contributes to its natural shelf life and aromatic properties.

Benefits & Uses

• Versatile in the kitchen: Excellent for frying, sautéing, and baking where a stable cooking fat with good flavour is required.
• Traditional preservation: Used in confit, where meat or vegetables are slowly cooked in fat to enhance flavour and juiciness.
• Flavour carrier: Goose fat helps to highlight and preserve flavours in both hot and cold dishes.
• High heat stability: The fat composition allows it to withstand higher temperatures without oxidising as quickly as many vegetable oils.
• Natural origin: For those seeking a pure animal fat without additives and with a mild, clear flavour profile.

Usage & Dosage

Desmal - Goose Fat can be used as a substitute for other animal fats or oils in cooking. For frying and sautéing, it is recommended to use a tablespoon or as needed depending on the amount of food. In confit, larger quantities are often used to fully cover the raw material during cooking. The product can be used both at high temperatures and as a flavour enhancer in cold dishes after chilling. Goose fat can be combined with herbs and spices to create customised flavours. It is best to store the fat in a cool, dry place after opening to preserve quality and flavour.

Quality & Manufacturing

The goose fat is gently purified to preserve its natural properties and flavour without additives. Production is carried out according to high quality and hygiene standards and complies with current food legislation.
