Lard
Lard refers to
pig fat in both its
rendered and unrendered forms. Lard was commonly used in many cuisines as a
cooking fat or
shortening, or as a
spread similar to
butter. Its use in contemporary cuisine has diminished because of health concerns posed by its
saturated fat content and its often negative image; however, many contemporary cooks and bakers favor it over other fats for select uses. The culinary qualities of lard vary somewhat depending on the part of the pig the fat was taken from and how the lard was processed. Lard is still commonly used to manufacture
soap.
