So, what is animal oil?

Animal oil is a type of fat that is extracted from animal tissues, such as beef, pork, chicken, and fish. It is a common ingredient in the food industry, used for frying, baking, and flavoring. Animal oil is high in saturated fat, which makes it solid at room temperature, but it also has a high smoke point, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking. It can add richness and depth of flavor to dishes, but it should be used in moderation due to its high calorie and cholesterol content. Animal oil is often used in traditional cuisine and is valued for its unique taste and texture.
