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:

Do you ship with dry ice?
All orders with meat or cold items are packed in boxes with recyclable insulated liners, as well as dry ice. We calculate the dry ice needs for each individual address to ensure you receive your meat perfectly frozen.
It is very common for the dry ice in your package to have dissipated by the time it arrives to you. As long as the meat is still cold to the touch, the products have not been compromised.

I liked the fat. It has good flavor and browned up nice
This time the lard had a lot of meat, which was hard to cut off. Also, it came in very thin layers, which made it hard for even rendering. I appreciate the fact, that it's pasture raised.
This is a very nice , clean pork fat. Rendered down amazingly well. I ended up with pure white pork lard. I am impressed with the quality. The price was great for the quality. The shipping cost was way too expensive. East coast was $75. Nearly double the cost of 5lbs of pork fat. Not sure the value of the total cost but the product is superior.
Very happy with my order
Good, clean, healthy fat. Thank you! 🙂
