$14.00

Our Rosehill Pastured Pork lard is a traditional cooking fat rendered from the fatty tissue of pigs. It has a creamy white appearance, a smooth texture, and a mild, slightly savoury. Our lard is shelf-stable and has a high smoke point, making it incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

Benefits of Eating Lard:

  • Nutrient-Rich: Lard is a natural source of vitamin D when sourced from pasture-raised pigs.

  • Healthy Fats: Contrary to outdated myths, lard contains monounsaturated fats (the same heart-healthy fats found in olive oil) and fewer trans fats than many commercial shortenings.

  • All-Natural: When minimally processed, lard contains no artificial additives or preservatives, making it a clean and wholesome fat option.
