Alaea is the traditional Hawaiian sea salt used to season and preserve seafood, poultry, and meats. This sea salt is rich in naturally occurring beneficial trace minerals, and is free of artificial flavors, colors, anti-caking agents, and chemical preservatives. A small amount of harvested reddish Hawaiian clay (‘Alae) enriches the salt with Iron-Oxide.
Hawaiians use Alaea salt in traditional ceremonies to cleanse, purify, and bless tools and canoes. They also use it in healing rituals for medicinal purposes. Enjoy its unique and pleasant flavor, super texture, and outstanding red color, on salads, grilled vegetables, fish, and roasted and grilled meats. It is the traditional and authentic seasoning for native Hawaiian dishes such as Kalua Pig, Hawaiian Jerky, and Poke.

100% Pure High Heat Avocado Oil for Cooking
Avocado oil has the highest smoke point among cooking oils and therefore is perfect for searing, stir-fry, BBQing, baking, and broiling as this oil will not burn or break down.
Safe Temperatures for Heating Different Oils:
Once an oil is heated past these temperatures it starts to break down. Not only do you get an off-taste, and foul odor, but free-radicals and other toxins start to form possibly hurting your health. This avocado oil's high monounsaturated fat profile withstands high temperatures without breaking down. We thus recommend you use this Avocado Oil as your cooking oil.

This is quite possibly the finest lard available. It is rendered from the the prized "leaf" (internal fat which contains no meat muscle) which makes it less "porky" tasting than regular lard. This amazing lard is delicate, light, and mild tasting. Bakers have cherished Leaf Lard because it creates the best crusts and cakes while not imparting any flavor of its own. Leaf Lard also has a high smoke point (375F), making it perfect for frying and sauteing, especially when you want the natural flavors of your ingredients to shine. Fat Works Pure Premium Pasture Raised Leaf Lard is essential for anyone interested in cooking with traditional fat. Take a bite of what you make with it and you'll easily understand why we love having it in our own kitchens!
Shelf stable at room temperature.

We proudly announce our 100% Grass Fed, Pasture Raised Lamb Tallow. If you don't know about Lamb Tallow keep reading as this is one baa-d tallow. Some people find that lamb, in general, has a flavor that many in the west find a bit bit overpowering. But when it comes to the tallow itself, there is very little "gaminess" and it is in fact a traditional fat with a very subtle, mild (and did we mention delicious) flavor, making it ideal for sauteing your favorite leafy greens, roasting vegetables, and pan frying any and all meat. Lamb Tallow adds a piquant depth to soups and stews and of course, let us never forget the amazing and spudtacular things tallow can do to a potato! In fact, any root vegetable will roast or fry beautifully with Lamb Tallow. It would be easy to go the "meat and potatoes" route, however, if you are up for a little culinary adventure we suggest baking with Lamb Tallow, only because it makes for some of the most delicious, savory pies! And we didn't even mention the whole new world of Middle Eastern cuisine that is just a jar away with Lamb Tallow. (This beloved tallow is even used as a secret ingredient in traditional baklava recipes.)
Tallow is really as versatile as you make it. It is even used to make great lotions and soap.

If you don't know Schmaltz you are about to enter a whole new world of delicious cooking. No joke.
Ashkenazi Jewish cooking has used Schmaltz for generations and we are proud to bring this incredible fat to you! (As an aside the Ashkenazi Jewish population is known for having one of the most heart healthy communities in the world.)
Nothing really compares to Schmaltz. It has the richness of duck fat but is milder and more aromatic. Schmaltz adds complexity to a variety of dishes that you simply cannot reproduce any other way. Schmaltz is a joy to cook with and is the easiest way to add depth and complexity to leafy vegetables, stir fries, pan fried steaks, fish, poultry, soups, stews, baked goods, and for a special treat spread it right on a piece of bread like you would a high quality butter or fine olive oil. It's no exaggeration to say Schmaltz gives potatoes and other root vegetables a flavor that is beyond anything most of us have experienced. If potatoes could talk to Schmaltz they would say, "You complete me!" This Chicken Schmaltz is made with 100% Organic Free Range Chicken (which ain't easy to find!) and is rendered with the typical care and passion that you would expect from FatWorks.
If you would like to learn more about the joys of cooking with Schmaltz we recommend that you pick up a copy of Michael Rulhman's quintessential book on Schmaltz entitled, "The Book of Schmaltz-A Love Song to A Forgotten Fat."

The judges participating in the blind tasting "went wild for it. It was a mustard they just wanted to smell." said Barry Levenson, Curator of the Mount Horeb Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, who oversaw the competition.

We have always wanted to carry a French mustard made with Banyuls Vinegar. We thought of importing such a mustard except the 100% import tax made the price seem ridiculous. It is good, but is it $25 good? Maybe, but who wants to pay $20+ for mustard? So we finally decided to make our own in the classic French tradition.
This is a coarse mustard with our Vinegar of Banyuls (La Cave de l'Abbe Rous), a touch of water, mustard seeds, sea salt, and a dash of turmeric to keep the color. We not so humbly admit that we love this more than similar imported mustards, and can bring it to you at 1/2 their cost!
We use it on hotdogs, sausages, hamburgers, and when combined with fresh oregano, freshly minced garlic, Fleur de Sel Sea Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil, we have the perfect marinating rub for lamb.
We think this is fantastic and something you'll be proud to have in your kitchens!
The Hatch Valley is in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, United States. It is located just off Interstate 25 about 40 miles northwest of Las Cruces, NM and approximately 80 miles northwest of El Paso, TX. The valley was formed millions of years ago from the flooding of the Rio Grande River. This flooding delivered rich mineral deposits that give the soil its special ability to produce a unique, flavorful chile. In addition, at an elevation of 4,000 feet, the rare mix of hot summer days, cool nights and ample water create the perfect growing conditions.
The Hatch chile is not actually a distinct variety of chile. It belongs to a group of long, green, mild Anaheim-type chile peppers that are especially prized for their superior quality. This pepper has a short season of only six weeks, and is harvested during late July and August. The fruit appearance is long and curvy and the pods range from 4” all the way to 12”. They are firmer than the Anaheim variety and have a greater range of flavor. They have a wonderful smell in their raw state and are wonderful when roasted.
Rarely seen outside of New Mexico, we are proud to be New Mexico based and able to ship this wonderful chile anywhere in the world. Read this wonderful article: Is New Mexico Hoarding All the Good Chile.
