Product Details
Our Pork Lard is rendered leaf lard and fat from pasture raised hogs — one of the most traditional, nourishing, and versatile cooking fats available. Before industrial seed oils took over, lard was the cooking fat of choice for generations of home cooks and professional kitchens alike. It has a high smoke point, a clean neutral flavor, and produces a richness in cooking and baking that no vegetable oil or shortening can replicate. It is real food from a real farm.
Our hogs are raised on chemical free pastures and woods where they root, roam, and forage freely. They are fed a corn, soy, and flax free non-GMO diet and raised with no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no vaccines. Lard from pasture raised hogs is richer in fat-soluble vitamins and has a completely different nutritional and flavor profile than commercially rendered lard from confinement-raised pigs.
Cooking Tip: Use it anywhere you would use butter or oil — sauteing vegetables, frying eggs, searing meats, roasting potatoes, or making pie crust. For the flakiest pie crust you have ever made, substitute half the butter with cold lard. It is also outstanding for pan frying chicken, making tamales, roasting root vegetables, seasoning cast iron, or as the fat base for any braised or slow cooked dish that deserves depth and richness.
If you have been avoiding lard because of outdated nutritional advice, it is time to reconsider. Lard from clean, pasture raised pork is a nutrient-dense, traditional fat that belongs back in your kitchen.
We ship your lard frozen with dry ice in eco friendly insulated packaging straight to your door, so you always have a clean, trusted cooking fat ready to elevate every meal you make.
