Mangalitsa Pork Lard 1000g

Mangalitsa pork lard from free-range and grass-fed pigs. With a harmonic flavour and a creamy texture, this is one of the best healthy fats for cooking.

How can I use it?

The lard has been slowly rendered from mangalitsa bacon, and it has a characteristic mild yet distinctive taste which was loved by the Great Taste Award judges and which makes it a versatile pantry essential: 

• An excellent ingredient for cooking sweet and savoury bakes.
• It is delightfully creamy and easily spreadable, even at room temperature, making it perfect for infusing your sandwiches or toast with a delicious flavour.
• Enjoy it sprinkled with a dash of smoked paprika powder to create a gourmet treat.
• The pork fat's high smoke point also makes it an excellent natural alternative to refined vegetable oils for roasting potatoes and for shallow or deep frying, providing your recipes with added depth and a rich, savoury pork character.

Free from additives and preservatives, the lard is keto and paleo diet friendly.

Comments from the judges: "Rich, glossy looking lard with the most stunning savoury pork aroma which follows onto the palate. It's even better when melted. It is like tasting the best crispy bacon, clean, natural, pure and so full of classic, savoury delicious pork flavour. This would be heavenly when used to roast potatoes."
