Flavor & cooking notes
Properly rendered lard has a clean, mild flavor that enhances food without overpowering it. It produces beautifully crisp textures when frying and creates especially tender pastries and biscuits.
Because lard is naturally stable at higher cooking temperatures, it performs extremely well for skillet cooking, roasting vegetables, and pan-frying meats.
How we use it at home
- Frying eggs or potatoes in a cast iron skillet
- Popping popcorn in a pan
- Roasting vegetables for deep caramelized flavor
- Making traditional pie crusts and biscuits
- Seasoning cast iron cookware
