Pork Fatback



Traditional pork fatback, perfect for rendering your own natural lard—a versatile, minimally processed alternative to vegetable shortening like Crisco.

Bring back the goodness of traditional farmhouse cooking! Our pork fatback is ideal for rendering into homemade lard, a cooking fat that generations of families relied on long before commercially manufactured vegetable shortenings became popular.

Unlike traditional Crisco shortening, which is made from refined vegetable oils, pure rendered lard is a single-ingredient animal fat that naturally contains both monounsaturated and saturated fats. Lard also contains less saturated fat than butter, making it an excellent option for cooks looking to return to traditional, less-processed ingredients.

Use your homemade lard for frying, sautéing, seasoning cast iron, or making deliciously flaky biscuits and pie crusts.
