Cage-Free Duck Fat Pouches
Rich in flavor with a high smoke point, this cage-free duck fat is a favorite for pan-frying chicken, roasting potatoes until deeply golden, and building the flakiest pie crust you've ever made.
Ask anyone what duck fat is famous for and they'll say French fries. Fair enough, but don't stop there: sear or pre-braise chicken and duck for a deep golden crust, toss root vegetables before roasting, or work it into savory pastry dough in place of butter. For something special, try a slow braise like homemade duck confit or a pot of simmered beans.

Goodness Customers Rave About
“This stuff is freaking amazing. If I didn’t still have a little over 3 containers in my freezer, I’d buy more! I made truffle buttered popcorn topped with grated asiago this past weekend. Best. Popcorn. EVER. And a little butter goes a long way. …I just keep all of it in my freezer, hacking out a portion as I need it. Amazing stuff.”
“I’ve only used the white truffle butter so far and it’s SO GOOD. In fact, it’s SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. It makes asparagus – which I like normally – into a culinary symphony.”
“I sat down to a nice piece of salmon with this black truffle butter melting into it and down the sides. I was gobsmacked, I gotta say. I just never expected dinner to taste so freaking fantastic. Bring it on!”
“M.A.D Foods Inc., New York, now offers Aux Délices des Bois flavored butters in bulk for meat and seafood counter service in supermarkets and food service.”
“This is one of my favorite Little Big Meals!! Those pork chops are fantastic!! And I love the noodles with the herb butter and microwavable veggies!! Fast, easy and delicious!”

Crafted for People Who Care About Flavor
We believe the fat you cook with should do more than keep food from sticking. It should build flavor. From kettle-rendered animal fats to European-style compound butters, Aux Délices brings time-honored culinary techniques and seriously good ingredients to the everyday kitchen.
Every product starts with one goal: make good food taste even better. Rich cooking fats create beautiful browning and crispness, while our compound butters melt into meats, seafood, vegetables, and more with layers of savory flavor.
Our fats are kettle rendered in small batches, while our compound butters begin with rich European-style butter and flavor bases we craft ourselves. Garlic is roasted, shallots simmer with red wine, herbs are tumbled with lemon, and truffles bring their unmistakable earthy depth.
Aux Délices des Bois draws on French culinary traditions where butter and animal fats aren't afterthoughts. They're essential ingredients. We bring that same appreciation for richness, technique, and flavor to products made for today's home cook.
Frequently Asked Questions
