Cohune fat is a type of oil derived from the cohune palm tree nut. It is often used for cooking, soap-making, and other industrial purposes. It is highly sought after due to its long shelf-life and heat stability characteristics. The oil is extracted by cold pressing the nuts and is considered a high-quality fat similar to coconut oil. It is a common ingredient in some Central and South American cuisines.
