## Description

Ingredients ingreis: Organic Pork Fat.

Review: I used this to rub on the skin of baked potatoes instead of crisco. The sprinkle on a thin dusting of kosher salt. The pork fat was much lighter and added great flavor to the skins after baking. We only eat a little bit of the skins, but this tasted way better than crisco after cooking. And it’s better for you. The fat will likely be semi melted in the jar due to heat during shipping. But just pop it in the fridge and keep it there and you will be fine. The jar is vacuum sealed, so it is ok. Don’t freak out. Plus, keeping it stored in the fridge after opening will make it last much longer. It has almost no odor and is completely filtered, leaving zero particulates in the fat. I’m extremely happy with this product and will be using it for all of my wok cooking in the future.
Review: I got lard to season my cast iron. I have used cast iron for 30 years and I have tried every oil out there. And honestly the pioneer’s old fashioned LARD is the only thing that gives me 100% NON-STICK on my cast iron. I keep my lard in the fridge for years and it does not go rancid like avocado oil. Avocado oil works well on cast iron too BUT Lard works the best. I bake bread every day in my Lodge cast iron 8.5 x 4.5 bread pans seasoned with lard. And I cook and bake in my lard seasoned Dutch oven and fry pans every day. Never use soap on cast iron. Anyway get some lard. I use LARD in cakes instead of canola oil. Why? Because canola oil is not natural or good for you. It’s highly processed. While lard, it’s easily available in nature. Seed oils are highly inflammatory.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is lard supposed to be strong flavored and overpowering?  Thanks**
A: I haven't tried this brand of lard (I reviewed the duck fat). The lard I have tried before was very much like crisco - it was thoroughly rendered, white and not terribly flavorful. Now, having said that - this brand of  duck fat is extremely flavorful and it's possible the pork was treated to do the same.

**Q: I bought one lard I loved it, but It went bad ( growing mold) in two months. I didn't put in the fridge. any suggestions to keep it longer?**
A: I process my own lard from my own hogs.  I keep a quart in the fridge at a time and the rest in the freezer.  I keep a half cup tallow in the cupboard as it is hard as nails out of the fridge.  I freeze the tallow in one quart containers.  The tallow these folks make is awful compared to mine.  There's is white and not good flavor and mine is yellow.  To end with, I would always keep cold or frozen. good luck.  How does their lard taste btw?  xo

**Q: How long will the duck fat, lard and beef fat keep if kept sealed in the glass bottle in the basement? Years?**
A: In a cool dark place 2-3 years. In a regular pantry about a year. I keep mine in the back of the fridge even the unopened ones as it's colder than a basement.

**Q: Is the pork lard non hydrogenated?**
A: Yes !
This stuff is the real deal

This is a healthy alternative to crisco. I use it all the time now. Loving it. Fry homemade fries in it and they taste like a guilty pleasure and better than any fast food fries. I'm fluffy and know food so I'm practically an expert.
