Raw Pasture Raised Pork Fat for Lard

Raw, unaltered pork fat from truly pasture raised pigs.

Our pork fat is not bleached, deodorized, hydrogenated or altered. It is the raw, uncured, unsalted fat from the pig, and can be rendered for cooking to make lard, or sliced thin for larding lean cuts of meat or game poultry. Lard makes the best pastry for pies and tarts, and adds excellent flavor as a cooking medium.

*Lard could be from any part of the hog.

WHY LARD?

Lard is high in vitamin D and monounsaturated fat. This lost staple takes minimal effort and is a super versatile fat, but it's super important to get your pork fat from truly pasture raised pigs. Learn all about lard and how to render your own:
