Description
If you’re looking for a pure-white lard rendered from pastured pork, look no further. This is a must for perfect pie crusts, deep frying, sauteing, or just to use as a simple cooking oil.
Similar to fats from other pastured animals, lard from pastured pigs is an excellent source of healthy fat and should be used frequently to optimize brain and joint health. Lard, however, differs from tallow beef tallow or butter in that it contains higher levels of Vitamin D, if the pigs are raised on pasture. The reason for that is that pigs carry most of their fat right under the skin across the back and sides of their body. Being in the sunshine causes this fat to absorb a lot of Vitamin D.
In order to bring you the cleanest and healthiest lard we never feed our pigs soy or genetically modified feeds. While the pork industry creates what we believe to be perhaps the most unnatural environment for hogs (confined to a building, surrounded by concrete and steel), Pasture to Fork pigs live outdoors in green pastures and in select woodlots, resulting in a unprecedented all-natural lard that you can use without feeling like you’re compromising your health values.
