Selection rules and storage conditions

- You should not purchase a yellow or gray product with a strong odor;
- a product that is more than 2 months old is used only as an external remedy.

How is goat fat extracted?
Goat fat is obtained by melting. You can do this yourself at home.
Step-by-step preparation:
- Pieces of fat are cut off from the inside of the skin and from some of the internal organs of the goats.
- The raw materials are washed, cut into small portions and placed on the bottom of a thick-walled pan.
- Cover the container with a lid and turn on low heat. Melt the raw materials, stirring occasionally.
- The raw materials are melted for 2-4 hours. The cracklings from the pieces should remain white; they do not need to be fried until golden, otherwise the product will acquire an unpleasant color and smell.
- The resulting liquid is poured into a jar, filtered through cheesecloth.
After hardening, the fat acquires an even white tint. When cut with a knife, it falls into pieces.
Where can I buy it?
The natural product can be purchased from private owners who breed goats. The owners sell fresh batches of goods and rarely put up old goods for sale. Recently, points selling natural homemade products have appeared in some shopping centers, where you can order products with home delivery.
