Farmhouse lard, 300g jar

Farmhouse lard – 300 g jar

“Add 100 g of lard...”

You have probably read this in an old family recipe or cookbook, then closed the book thinking:

“Yes... but where can I find it?”

Good news: you are in the right place.

Lard is a traditional ingredient in French cooking. Once essential, it has gradually disappeared from shop shelves, although it remains key to many recipes made the proper way.

GAEC Montchervet in Amplepuis (Beaujolais Vert) keeps this know-how alive with pure lard made simply from pork fat, with no unnecessary ingredients.

Why cook with lard?

Lard brings an incomparable texture and flavour to many dishes:

• fried or Sarlat-style potatoes;

• homemade pâtés & terrines;

• pies and pâtés en croûte;

• traditional fried foods;

• regional recipes passed down through generations.

Often forgotten or replaced because it is not to hand, lard makes all the difference.

A rare product

Today, butter or oil often replace lard, not by choice but because it has become difficult to find.

At Epicerie Beaujolaise, we choose to keep offering local products that let you cook traditional recipes without compromise.
