South Chicago Packing Traditonal LARD Shortening, 42 Ounces, Specialty Baking Shortening and Cooking Fat

This is definitely not your supermarket lard! It gave an amazing flavor to my fried chicken, fried pork chops and fried shrimp, I'm frying french fries in it tonight, I can't wait!! I'm so happy I discovered this wonderful lard,I will never be without it!!

This lard reminds me of my childhood, when my Mom fried chicken. No smoke fumes ,just crisp fried chicken. I will be ordering again.

Love cooking with this lard. It is pure lard. Read the label. Wonderful stuff. And I have it on auto ship to my house.

Excellent product! Been using for years!

Before I use this I had used butter or oil. On my Aunts recommendation I switched to this lard . Wow what a difference in how stuff turns out. Flavor wise and texture. It turns out it is better for you health wise as long as you use it the right way.

It's a great product but expensive considering lard is a byproduct of the butchering process. Most meat processing plants just throw it out or send it off to dog food manufacturing plants. The only downsides are the price and the fact that it comes in a plastic container.

clean no strong odors ... use this in place of bad fats like cris-co ,margarine , or grain oils aka vegetable oil

I made pie dough for the first time with lard and the results from this brand were impressive. Traditionally I've always used shortening but in an attempt to make my baked goods more natural I began making pie crust with either butter or lard. Butter is tricky due to the hardness while keeping it cold but South Chicago Packing Lard was so easy to cut into the dry mixture- it was a breeze. It baked beautifully, flaky light crust. Even the crimped edges were crisp/tender. The flavor is spot on, enhancing the flavor of the wheat flour, I didn't miss the butter taste at all. Additionally the rosemary that keeps it antimicrobial is in my opinion virtually undetectable. When opening the tub, I would say it smells slightly like paraffin wax- not like an animal product, herb product or food. I got no sign of the rosemary in the flavor or the aroma of the crust. I hope this is available again soon on Amazon because it's a definite reorder for me.
