The pancreas secretes an enzyme called pancreatic lipase that helps to break the fat molecules down into smaller molecules to ease digestion and absorption by the body.

Basophilic cells of pancreas secretes pancreatic lipase.

Hope it helps.
 
I concur with fifi, and you should know that carbs begin their digestion in the mouth; proteins in the stomach; lipids in the small intestines in the duadnam (I spelled it wrong).

Duodenum: the site where pretty much approximately 90% of digestion is completed.
