Armour Lard, 4 lb. Tub

The taste is pure and clean. It is shelf stable....important to me. Many people think animal fats are unhealthy thanks to propaganda. those fats are the closest to our own, easier to digest, healthier for us. Let me say in moderation most healthy foods are good for us. I love in baking. Mixed with butter It tastes like my grandmas pie crust. And her crusts were the best. It's also used to top off home canned meats. Gram would make her potato chips with nothing but lard to fry them in. She lived to almost 95. She either rendered her own lard or used Armor brand. Want a suntan? Yep. Lard mixed with aloe and body lotion. Lard IS good for you.

I mainly use this lard for making soap and it works very well for that. I also will use this lard for cooking...making refried beans, tortillas, etc. I don't think the taste is near as good as using tallow, but it is what a lot of people use for traditional Mexican dishes. I do like using this lard outside on a flat top grill. I find that using a lot of lard indoors and having it smoke is a bad smell, so I do prefer it used outdoors. Overall a good product that gives good, consistent results and is a good price point.
