So, what is pork lard?

Pork lard is a versatile and flavorful ingredient made from rendered pork fat. It has a rich, creamy texture that makes it ideal for use in baking, frying, and sautéing. Pork lard can be used to enhance the flavor of everything from pies to pastries, and its high smoke point means it won't burn or smoke at high temperatures. Not only does it add a delicious taste to dishes, but it also provides a natural source of vitamin D and other essential nutrients. With its unique flavor and numerous applications, pork lard is a must-have ingredient for any serious cook or baker.
