Animal Fat

What Are Animal Fats?

Animal fats are natural fats extracted through a process called rendering, which involves gently heating meat to separate pure fat from the tissue. For example, beef tallow is rendered from beef fat, while pork lard is derived from pork fat. We also offer lardo, which is cured pork fatback, and our bacon is crafted to showcase the perfect balance of meat and fat, ideal for those who enjoy a meaty experience.

Our animals are grass-fed and allowed to roam freely in a National Park on the Hungarian Great Plain. This lifestyle yields a range of cooking fats bursting with natural flavour.

Our pork comes from the heritage Mangalitza breed, known as the "Wagyu of the pork world," celebrated for its exceptionally marbled, fatty meat that produces creamy lard.

How to Use?

Animal fats excel at high-heat cooking thanks to their high smoke points.

Beef tallow can withstand temperatures up to 400°F (204°C), making it ideal for deep-frying, roasting vegetables, and creating the crispiest roast potatoes imaginable. Its rich, savoury flavour is excellent for searing steaks, delivering an intense beefy experience.

Pork lard, with its mild flavour and silky texture, is great for sautéing and baking, perfect for making flaky pie crusts and tender biscuits.

Thinly sliced lardo makes a luxurious garnish that melts over baked fish or chicken, infusing the meat with a rich, smoky aroma while keeping it juicy and tender.

Meanwhile, bacon is a fantastic choice for frying eggs or cooking vegetables, adding richness and depth to dishes.

These fats remain stable at high temperatures, making them a reliable choice for high-heat cooking. 

Choose grass-fed animal fat and enjoy minimally processed, naturally flavourful cooking fats that our ancestors relied on for generations.
