Lard is obtained from the fusion of the pig’s adipose tissues, taking on the consistency of a white and compact cream. It is widely used in the kitchen both for frying and as an ingredient for recipes of all kinds. The use of lard in the dough makes the dough more crumbly, giving flavor and fragrance. It is also used for baked goods and pastry making. Having a very high smoke point, it is excellent for frying.
