Completely rendered and ready to use. A old timey, healthy fat that's great for cooking, baking, and deep frying.
Pork lard is an excellent fat for baking flaky and fluffy pie crusts and biscuits. Here's our family's Simple Lard Pie Crust recipe. You can absolutely make a lot and freeze rolled crusts for later.
Or how about deep frying? Lard fried potato chips and donuts, anyone?
*PRO TIP: Rendered lard can also be used in place of Crisco in any recipe.
When you raised hogs regeneratively, it's not only better for the planet, but it's also packs more nutrition. Regeneratively raised pork can have up to 300% more vitamins and minerals. It also has a much better fat profile, with significantly higher omega 3s compared to conventional pork.
Did you know that regeneratively raised pigs help manage our soil? That's right. With all they're rooting and mud puddling, they are natural tillers and compost turners. And that means less energy used to make and run machinery. Plus, they're pretty entertaining to watch, too :)
That means that, when you buy our pork lard, you're helping naturally maintain and rebuild soil! And that means you're helping the planet and the future of food. Way to be a changemaker!
We recommend storing in the fridge. But, rendered lard will technically last indefinitely in a cool, dry place... as long as there's no moisture or contaminants in the container.
