About Sheeps fat

Sheep's fat is fat obtained from sheep, but the label does not state whether it is raw tissue fat, rendered fat, or a particular cut-associated fat. It therefore identifies an animal source without defining one uniform product or processing method.

It may be encountered as an ingredient for cooking or food manufacture, in solid or liquid form depending on temperature and rendering. Colour, texture, and flavour vary with source tissue and handling. Nutrition comparisons should match the tissue source and whether the fat is rendered or otherwise processed.
