So, what is varkensvet?

Varkensvet, also known as pork lard, is a versatile food ingredient that has been used in cooking for centuries. It is made from rendering the fat of pigs and has a creamy white color with a mild flavor. Varkensvet is commonly used in baking, where it provides a rich, buttery texture to pastries and pie crusts. It can also be used for frying, as its high smoke point makes it ideal for deep-frying foods. This ingredient is a popular alternative to vegetable oil or butter, especially in traditional recipes that require the unique flavor and consistency of varkensvet.
