Lard

Eating adventure ideas with lard:

Use it to fry the crispiest potatoes you've ever had. Make flaky pie crusts and biscuits that melt in your mouth. Roast vegetables in it for deep, savory flavor. Sear steaks in a hot cast iron pan. Fry eggs for breakfast. Use it for tamales or refried beans. Or, season your cast iron with it.

Why forest raised matters?

For most of history, pigs lived in woods and forests, rooting for acorns, wallowing in mud, moving freely. That's what pigs do naturally. 

Now? Most pigs are raised in concrete confinement barns. They never go outside. The meat is pale, watery, and bland.

Forest-raised pork is pork the old fashioned way. Pigs living in the woods, eating a natural diet. The meat is darker, richer, more marbled, and actually tastes like pork used to taste. It's just raising pigs the way they're supposed to be raised.
