F&Co Chicken Schmaltz

Great Taste 2020 Award Winner - 1 Star

We're excited & delighted to introduce our very own Chicken Schmaltz made from the skin & fat from our Yorkshire reared high welfare chickens. Schmaltz is the by-product from Jewish cuisine when making a highly nutritious and natural 'medicinal' Chicken Broth. The fat is skimmed & put to one side. Once the Chicken soup is cooked a generous teaspoon is added to the finished soup for richness & silkiness. Nowadays it can still be stirred into soups or stocks but it is also an important cooking fat in modern cookery. With a high melting point & packed full of roast chicken flavour a generous spoon goes a long way when roasting or sauteeing potatoes or just for general frying when full flavour impact is required. Fat is good & it doesn't get better than this jar of pure poultry goodness.

What the judges said:

"A distinct and homely aroma of roast chicken. Clean and fresh, this tastes exactly as it should and has a very pleasing non-greasy finish. A cracking example of a simple ingredient made very well. No taint of old fat - this is the classic savoury flavour of chicken skin and fat. Natural tasting, this puts the good into good fats. We wouldn't say no to this on toast with a pinch of salt. Jolly useful."
