Lard is an important essential in our house! I use it for everything from greasing pans to frying chicken to replacing vegetable oil and shortening in recipes to moisturizing my skin and making candles. When it is harvested from pasture-raised pigs, it is rich in Vitamin D and actually the best source of Vitamin D known, only second to Cod Liver Oil. This quart of lard is pre-rendered and ready for use, and may contain pork back fat and/or pork leaf fat. It is NOT hydrogenated like commercial lard. Keep refrigerated or frozen.
