Bunge Oakleaf Lard 50 lb.

Details

Whip up indulgent, old-fashioned culinary creations with this Bunge Oakleaf lard. Leaf lard is the visceral fat that surrounds the organs of a pig, so named because its shape is said to resemble a leaf. Unlike fat from other parts of the hog, leaf fat is extremely delicate and has a mild taste without any "porky" flavor. When rendered into lard, leaf fat is prized by bakers and cooks for its clean flavor and the incredible results it imparts to baked goods and other dishes. Though lard used to be the cooking oil of choice, it fell out of favor as "healthy eating" movements claimed that animal fats were fattening and unhealthy. However, recent evidence indicates that animal fats are higher in healthy monounsaturated fat and other beneficial compounds, and can actually be a more wholesome choice than hydrogenated vegetable fats and shortenings.

Leaf lard is ideal for a wide variety of tasks, from frying and searing to using as an ingredient in baked goods, making it a versatile addition to your collection of cooking fats! Create old-fashioned pie crusts, donuts, biscuits, and cakes with unbeatable flavor by substituting leaf lard for vegetable shortening in your recipes. Its mild and clean flavor will add richness to your dishes without overpowering them with "porky" taste. This bulk 50 lb. supply of leaf lard will keep your busy establishment in good supply of this remarkable ingredient! To preserve its quality and flavor, it's recommended to store this product between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit.
