Lard is a traditional cooking fat derived from pigs, offering a blend of flavors and textures to various dishes. Extracted from pig fat and available in both liquid and solid states, lard is characterized by its white color and significant saturated fatty acid content. Though not considered a “”healthy”” fat due to its saturated fat levels, lard is a versatile ingredient in the culinary world.
Lard is processed through steaming, boiling, or dry heating methods to separate the fat from the meat. Our lard includes additives such as BHA, Propyl Gallate, and Citric Acid for preservation. Ideal for cooking and baking, lard helps in creating flaky pastries, crispy fried foods, and richly flavored tortillas. Despite its saturated fat content, lard contains a balance of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, contributing to its culinary appeal.
Our lard comes as a natural butter additive and we carry it on various sizes including bulk, gallon size buckets.
