Great quality and exactly as expected. This stuff is great for pie crusts, baked goods and frying.
Will be a customer for life!

Raised in the Crisco years, I am new to lard. And new to non-GMO, ‘real’ food. Reading the 100 Days of Real Food led me to making (delicious) homemade tortillas and breakfast burritos.
Which led to King Arthur Flour’s recipe for homemade tortillas. At first, I made them with butter. But, the recipe also suggested LARD. After much research, I chose Fatworks premium leaf lard and made tortillas once more.
The difference is night and day. Soft, pliable, delicious. Easily folds around the breakfast burrito filling. I won’t go back to butter for this recipe. 100% recommended. Paradigm shifted permanently for this late in her 60’s cook.

I had received several pint jars and also a pail of pork lard. I did not realize that the pail had a crack in it. After we had used all the pint jars I went in to get the pail and it had leaked on to the lid of a 5-gallon bucket that it was sitting on top of. I contacted the company and spoke with Dave. Dave made it right, I spoke with him on Friday but he was out of town. He contacted me the following Monday morning and personally took care of the problem. I received an email from Dave Monday afternoon informing me that the replacement port for pale which is approximately a gallon would be going out that evening. I have received it In good condition. He also follow back up to make sure that I had received it and that everything was fine. I appreciate his personal attention and quick response to my complaint. On this one note alone I would continue to do business with FAT WORKS. On another note I would like to compliment the company that works on their excellent product of pure Pork Lard and pure tallow products. They also have various other products of cooking and baking Lard. Their Lard & Tallow has no other by products included in them. I certainly recommend that anyone try their products and I believe they will be 100% satisfied. Thanks again Dave,

Absolute best, most delicious fat to cook with that I have ever encountered! Fatworks for life! I will never go back to cooking without lard. It just makes absolutely every food better than cooking with anything else.

Fatworks - LEAF LARD is now my go to Fat for baking. When baking calls for butter - I use the LEAF LARD. It has no discernible taste of pork - so if you want a perfectly neutral tasting fat - LEAF LARD is superb. This photo is an Italian Cookie - Sbresolina - which calls for 6 ounces of LARD or Butter. Having tried both - the full Lard makes the cookie a bit more crispy which is what it is to be when cooled... and then cracked.

I feel that this is not a fair review because I should have read the label.... I didn’t expect that this would be flavored/seasoned with any spices, extracts. Not that it matters but in this case, I have an allergy to rosemary (I know! So odd!) anyway, I am unable to use it. BUT I love the duck tallow and bison tallow. So I am 100% certain that I would love this too, if it wasn’t for the Rosemary Extract

Fast shipping, excellent customer service, answered all my questions, great product, the leaf lard does not change the taste of what you are cooking.

Excellent product. I deal with blood sugar issues and this helps stop the rollercoaster of my sugar when I add to quinoa or rice. Will definitely be ordering more.

Absolutely amazing product!! I use it for skin care and it feels wonderful on my skin. It doesn't have a strong odor and it absorbs great! I will be buying again!

I recently purchased the Leaf Lard and received it within a few days. It looked and smelled amazing and we quickly starting using it. I’ve made amazing biscuits and pie crusts as well as using it in my cooking. My grandmother made the most amazing crepes and I’ve tried for years to replicate them with no success. My son and family recently visited and requested my crepes so I decided to cook them in the leaf lard rather than the olive oil or butter I typically use and there it was, grandmother’s crepes! Since I was trying out this company for the first time I decided to pay the shipping and just order one jar so it was expensive but now that I know what to expect I’ll increase my next order (and there will be many more) so that the shipping will be free. Thank you for this service, those of us that know the value of real animal fat and don’t own a farm owe you a debt of gratitude!

I've never purchased or used leaf lard for baking before. A recipe I was making called for using leaf lard in the pie dough. What an incredible difference this product made to my baking! The crust was the flakiest I've ever eaten. Even my family commented on the difference.
Purchasing this product not only made a difference to my baking, but from the time of purchase to receipt of the product, your company communicated with me and the product arrived even earlier than I had anticipated.
Thank you for a great experience and a wonderful product!

I use Leaf Lard all the time. It was referred to me by my nutritionist who said it's the best thing to cook with.

Was nervous due to strong smell. But crust was delicious and the fried potatos

Browned bison meat making a stew with root vegetables. Amazing flavor rich aromatic taste. Delicious!

This is the only lard I buy now. I use it for baking pie crust and making homemade mincemeat. The texture is just like making it from scratch from pasture raised leaf lard, but that's hard for me to get a hold of and so much work (and smells up the house). I'd rather buy this and save all the time of making my own. I also love that it comes in a glass jar instead of plastic.

Fatworks is great! They make high quality products no matter what fat you purchase. Hands down I recommend them every time.

Excellent for cooking. I've been using bacon grease but will now switch to a cleaner fresher healthier fat. I love pie crust made with lard. This is the best.

This is going to be the take away when I go visiting family this year out of State ! And I purchased a beef Tallow to take on the raid trip too so we can make more wonderful dishes even when at the Beach cabin !

I bought one of the Gallons and made a Rhubarb Pie recipe I have made many times before but this time Leaf Lard from Fatworks Changed the Entire Game from Well done to How did you DO that ?!
