When most people think of duck fat, they think of French cuisine. It has been used in French cooking and by high-end restaurants around the world for hundreds of years.
One reason is that duck fat is nearly 51% monounsaturated fat, with 36% saturated fat and 14% polyunsaturated fat.
Because of its monounsaturated content, this form of fat does not break down or smoke away during cooking. This means it keeps its flavor and is even a healthier alternative too many other fats.
One of the most popular dishes to use duck fat to cook with is potatoes. You can boost the flavor profile of potatoes so much that they seem to become another food altogether.
Many chefs also use duck fat to create their own fresh in-house Gascony butter. This butter is named for the region in France which enjoys amazing tasting food but lower rates of heart disease. They make this with rendered duck fat and garlic cloves. You then add this preparation by the scoop or tablespoon full to soups, melt over steak, or lamb.
Duck fat is legendary on steak, poultry, and even seafood. Many love to add duck fat to their vegetables for extra bold flavor when mixed with organic Worcestershire sauce.

It’s true: the French are thinner and have half the reported heart problems than that of Americans, though they eat meats and fats. Peculiarly, duck fat is the most common animal fat eaten in the southwestern region of France known as Gascony, where reported heart problems are half that of the rest of France.
