Description
Appearance
Goose fat has a cream to yellow color which may depend somewhat on the diet of the geese.
At hot temperatures, goose fat has a liquid consistency, but it is semi-solid at room temperature, and it has a thick and “creamy” look.
The room temperature consistency of goose fat looks something like slightly warm coconut oil, but with a more yellow shade of color.
In this state, goose fat is soft and spreadable like slightly warm butter.
Taste
Goose fat has a rich and flavorful taste, and when used as a cooking fat, it imparts a deep flavor to food.
However, the taste (and smell) is slightly milder and not as strong-tasting as pork fat
