{"product_id":"pork-leaf-fat-pastured-non-gmo","title":"Pork Leaf Fat, Pastured, Non-GMO","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is un-rendered pork fat from the pigs raised on Kendal Hills Farm in Orono.\u003cbr\u003eTheir Kune-kune pigs enjoy shaded pastures to root and muck as they would, and are fed a non-GMO feed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaf fat is soft visceral fat from the loin and kidney area of the pig. It is best rendered into flaky leaf lard for baking with. It has a neutral aroma and flavour. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo render it into lard, first chop the fat into smaller pieces and then cook it in a pot over low heat. A slow-cooker is ideal for this! It is finished when the fat has completely melted and the solids have browned slightly (these are cracklings). At this point, strain out the solids and store the lard in the fridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce rendered, this animal fat is ideal for making flaky pastries, but it's also great for frying eggs or vegetables as it has a high smoke point. It makes a great cap for home made pate's or terrines, and some may even enjoy it as a spread on toast!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kendal Hills Farm","offers":[{"title":"~2lb","offer_id":49640467267822,"sku":"KEND-PORK-LEAF-LARD-FROZ-02LB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"~3lb","offer_id":49640467300590,"sku":"KEND-PORK-LEAF-LARD-FROZ-03LB","price":16.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"~4lb","offer_id":49640467333358,"sku":"KEND-PORK-LEAF-LARD-FROZ-04LB","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"~5lb","offer_id":49640467366126,"sku":"KEND-PORK-LEAF-LARD-FROZ-05LB","price":27.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1991\/9785\/files\/IMG_20260925_085435808_HDR.jpg?v=1790341006","url":"https:\/\/grazeandgatherfood.ca\/products\/pork-leaf-fat-pastured-non-gmo","provider":"Graze \u0026 Gather","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
