Pork Lard

Pork Lard is rendered pork fat commonly used in many cuisines for frying, roasting and pastry work; it is known as lard or pork back fat in traditional European, Latin American and Southern US cooking. It is very energy-dense and contains 89g of fat per 100g, which is why a little goes a long way in cooking. While prized for its cooking properties and rich mouthfeel, it is predominantly saturated fat, so it’s best used sparingly or swapped for unsaturated vegetable oils when a lighter fat profile is desired.
