Chicken Tallow - 320ml

Chicken Schmaltz is the "liquid gold" that defined traditional cooking for generations before industrial seed oils took over our pantries. At Fatworks, we’ve brought this culinary icon back for the modern South African kitchen—rendered with precision, patience, and zero compromises.

This isn't just a cooking fat; it’s a flavor foundation. Our Chicken Schmaltz (Tallow) is crafted for those who demand more from their food—more nutrients, more stability, and an unmistakable savory depth that butter or olive oil simply can’t match.

Why Fatworks Schmaltz?

While the world moved toward processed, bleached, and deodorized oils, we went back to basics. Our schmaltz is rendered slowly to preserve its delicate fatty acid profile and its signature "roast chicken" aroma.

• High-Heat Hero: With a smoke point of approximately 190°C, it’s the perfect partner for roasting, sautéing, and pan-searing without the fear of oxidation or toxic fumes.

• The Ultimate Flavor Profile: It carries a rich, savory, and slightly salty essence. It doesn’t just cook your food; it seasons it from the inside out.

• Zero Seed Oils: Like everything at Fatworks, this is 100% pure animal fat. No soy, no sunflower oil, no fillers. Just pure, rendered chicken fat.

• Keto & Paleo Gold: High in healthy monounsaturated fats and essential for anyone following an ancestral or carnivore-adjacent lifestyle.

How to Use Your "Liquid Gold"

Don't let the name fool you—Schmaltz is incredibly versatile. If a recipe calls for oil or butter, try Schmaltz instead.

1. The Perfect Roast Potato: Toss your spuds in melted schmaltz before hitting the oven. The result? A glass-like crunch on the outside and a fluffy, savory interior.

2. Sautéed Greens: Transform boring spinach or kale into a gourmet side dish by wilting them in a tablespoon of schmaltz and garlic.

3. The "Schmaltz Sear": Use it to sear chicken breasts or thighs to amplify the natural poultry flavor and achieve a deep, golden skin.

4. Ancestral Baking: Use it in savory pie crusts or biscuits for a flaky texture and a rich, traditional finish.

Pure Ingredients. No Nonsense.
