Title: How Long Does Raw Fat Keep?
Post by: 24isours on August 03, 2013, 06:27:20 am

I can't seem to find anything on how long raw fat keeps in the freezer. Anyone have any idea?  Thanks

I keep fat uncovered in the refrigerator or out of the refrigerator, not in the freezer. It keeps a long, long time. It gets a little dried out, but it makes a pleasant chew that way. If it makes any difference, I live in a place where the temperatures do not get too high. On very hot days, the fat will get a little melty, which is also good.

Great. Thank you all for the replies. I usually just take it out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge the day before I'm going to eat it - especially if it is back fat, yum. I have eaten moldy fat but prefer the taste of less aged fat. Interesting article Jessica. I'd have to save that fat for the dogs though :]

I've had raw suet last forever, but then it is rather dried out when bought.
