This is Pork fat rendered from a beautiful pig at Friendly Haven Rise byodunamic farm. It is sweet and delicious. Great for everyday cooking, baking and frying potato chips. Rendered lard contains about 40% saturated fat, 60% monounsaturated fat. It can be hard or soft depending on how the pig was fed, and is about 2-3% palmitoleic acid (which posesses antimicrobial properties*)

Note: crisco (yuck-o) was created to replace this traditional ingredient.
