Description

This pure, creamy richness—the gold standard of good ol’ pig fat—is taken from just beneath the skin along the back of our heritage hogs and is, not to mention, clean and firm; being rendered by chefs, bakers, and home cooks alike for one simple reason: it’s the cherry on top that makes everything better. Use it to make your own lard (hello, flakiest-ever pie crusts), blend it into sausage for the perfect fat ratio, or dice and fry into crispy lardons—or even… slow-render it into cracklings and scatter them over salads, soups, or straight into your mouth.

Ingredients: Pork.
