Lard

Lard

Everyday

Lard is a cooking fat produced by rendering and straining pure pork fat, resulting in a white, shelf-stable product with a high smoke point. This traditional cooking fat contains less saturated fat than butter and no trans fats when unhydrogenated, while providing a uniquely rich flavor and exceptional texture to pastries and fried foods. Pure lard is prized in many cuisines for its versatility and ability to create exceptionally flaky baked goods.
