What is "lard"?
Lard is a type of rendered fat obtained from pigs, primarily from the fatty tissue surrounding the animal's kidneys and abdomen. It is created through a process of heating the pork fat until it melts, then straining out the solid impurities. Lard has been used in cooking for centuries and is valued for its high smoke point and versatility in culinary applications. It has a rich flavor and creamy texture, making it ideal for frying, baking, and sautéing.
