I am ssoooo excited to receive this! My mother in law makes the best apple pie but with Crisco, which is terrible for your health. I am gifting this to her, which is the original way her ancestors from Italy cooked her famous pie. It will make it extra flaky. I also can’t wait to buy the organic tallow, but it’s been sold out! I hope they get it back in stock soon.
Kellylynn M.
I head about leaf lard in baking - specifically for the creating the most delicate and flakey pie crusts. I did a baking test using my grandmother’s recipe and the leaf lard truly did make the best pie crusts ever!
Donald K.
It's great! Makes for a rich, layered, flaky pie crust. And great for biscuits, too! Will definitely buy again
Steve B.
Have used these fats several times, always the highest quality. The Japanese Wagyu beef tallow with fried potatoes is sooooooo good. I use the wild boar lard in my christmas tamales, and they were so good, on top of the smoked pork in them of course, that i was "volunteered" to make them every year for christmas now.

The leaf lard is an excellent product. Plus, I have the assurance that what I am preparing for my family is safe to eat. I REALLY like and appreciate this fine family business.
Jennifer O.
great shop and good resource for these products! super fast shipping!
Christl M.
Ooh-la-la! This made the most flaky, tasty pie crust EVER!
JOHN D.
Great product; better than Mom used to render! Excellent clamshell packaging got everything to me in perfect shape! Thanks!
Cynthia G.
Bought Leaf Lard, was well packed and easy to work with. Learned how to make buttermilk biscuits, and have made multiple batches over the past couple of weeks for husband's birthday. Suffice to say he's happy.

I made my first apple pie using dough with half leaf lard from fat works and half unsalted butter. The result was picture perfect. Tender and flaky. Many positive reviews at Thanksgiving. Never going back to all butter dough. My order on line came in less than a week and the product was in perfect condition (and I live on Maui)! TY!
Deborah K.
The leaf lard is perfect for biscuits and other baked goods. It makes the perfect pie crusts!! Flaky and tender.
cynthia l.
Made a pie crust with lard and butter, exquisite! The best pie crust I have ever made.
Trudi L.
Used this leaf lard for my pies over the holidays. My crusts turned out great!
Gloria R.
Best pie crust I have ever made!
Rebecca M.
A wonderful fat for making pies, my grandmother's Christmas cookies and our family favorite Norwegian lefse. I love the quality of this lard compared to what I can buy in the store.
Merry S.
Love the leaf lard!! Will definitely order it again.
Kathleen L.
I have one complaint, the "use by" date is impossible to find or read, this has been the history of this product.
Permanently Stamp the date on the lid (not some flimsy piece of paper) so it is easy to find and read.
Stella M.
The leaf lard makes a great pie crust. Very pleased with the results.
I also use the duck fat. For my savory dishes. I havent used seed oil in a long time.
Sarah B.
Best leaf lard for pie crust, by far!!!
Charlotte P.
I love making pie crust from the leaf lard!
R K.
Nice to have, use it for baked goods. Tried it for the first time and unfortunately I can taste the rosemary oil in it. Way too much, it overpowered the brownies and I only used a 2 tbsp.
Rita W.
Mild taste and cook with it more than once a day. I will be using this in place of seed oils.
Shawn Shannon S.
Great stuff for baking!
Jaime K.
Love my fatworks. Food has so much more flavor and feels more filling more quickly.
David K.
Great product as always
Steve M.
FINALLY, have found a healthy way to cook !
Using my cast iron pan nothing sticks. We have tossed all our supposedly non stick pans.
The flavor it adds to the food is over the top!
mark kastamo K.
Love this fat! A must have for eggs, fried potatoes, stir fries, and all baking.
Marcia S.
Love your product. Makes the best flaky pie crust.
Stacey G.
I wanted to try leaf lard pie crust and ordered two jars that arrived quickly and VERY securely packed. The recipe I use normally calls for part vegetable shortening and part butter. I swapped in the leaf lard for the shortening and the difference for the better is incredible. The dough comes together more easily with the leaf lard. It rolls out smoothly and doesn’t break when transferring to the pie dish. I usually have some shrinking, even if the dough is chilled before baking, but not with leaf lard. The tenderness is unmatched. Absolutely the best break in any pie crust I’ve made. The flake is also totally different than shortening crust. I can actually see the crust layers in a slice of pie. Since my recipe also uses butter, I really don’t taste anything but butter, which is how I prefer it. Now that I’ve tried leaf lard, I won’t use shortening again. The results are that much better with the lard. A pie crust game changer!
Anabel F.
Happy to finally find a natural and organic pork lard product, and I couldn’t be happier. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for—a pure, high-quality alternative to processed fats. The lard has a rich, clean flavor and a creamy texture that works perfectly for baking, frying, and even sautéing
Dena S.
Great product. Use in all my scones, biscuits, and pie crust recipes.
Barbara P.
I like that you offer a healthy fat to use in my baking. And the finished baked product always turns out perfectly without the taste of pork.
Ellen Grasso I.
I've been using Fatworks for years! How does anyone make a flakey piecrust without leaf lard? I can't imagine it....
Raymond V.
Using my Leaf Lard for ingredient in my Whey Protein Shakes. May sound disgusting, but it isn't. I just wish I could get everything to blend together better, powder and fat.
Anita C.
very pleased with my purchase.
Heather D.
Great product. No pork scent. Nice quality. Great for baking.
Patricia J.
Quality lard, careful and fast shipping, a great experience all around.
Jerry B.
I have had a pretty good experience cooking with these products. This last order was simply to stock up for the coming months. I truly believe the quality of the lard has helped me make better biscuits.
David B.
Absolutely first class lard!!!
Tamara H.
I never received the product, I did reach out to the company to get an answer that the product had been delivered. Which I have clearly not received and did not receive a confirmation on the exact date this delivery was supposed to have happened. I would love to try the product, but now I'm a bit more concerned about the money I paid, total lack of customer service via online, having only received one email. Just an FYI the company isn't always right. But I'm getting ready to start an investigation with my bank.
Jean C.
I used it to make the crust for my apple pie.It came out nice and flaky!
Alana
Quality lard! Thanks for upping my pie crust game, Fatworks!
Michael T.
Great product. Lard is much easier to work with than vegetable oil(crisco) and taste better. I have made 3 pies so far.
Cynthia M.
I grew up on lard, but I never remember it tasting like this leaf lard. It smells and tastes "off". I am so disappointed after all the great reviews. I expected to be transported back to the biscuits, pie crusts, fried chicken, etc., I experienced during my childhood. Maybe I'll try another brand.
Katy B.
The only lard for Sonoran tortillas- i’ve ordered several times and this leaf lard is the best!
Donna K.
We enjoy the healthy benefits as our food intolerances restrict what we consume. It is the best substitute we've found but is hard to find in stores. We bought 4 of the Leaf Lard Premium & 1 Organic which we've not tried before. The texture of the Premium is perfect for baking.
Hilary B.
I needed lard for a flour tortilla recipe, and I researched that leaf lard was the best. And this leaf lard is awesome! No funky flavours or porky smells, which I really appreciated.
Krystal H.
I have researched how horrible hydrogenated oils are for you. I researched non-hydrogenated lard and found FatWorks. I received the Leaf Lard today and used it to fry potatoes. The smell of the lard is great! My fried potatoes were the best I have ever made!! I am looking forward to baking with it soon! I will definitely purchase again!
I am looking forward to my Beef Tallow arriving this week!
Therese N.
The jars arrived safely and intact. I know the leaf is normally used for baking but I just couldn’t resist giving it a try on a small batch of French fries . Wonderful ! So crisp and delicious ! Can’t wait to use it again real soon.
Jessica S.
Using this for my homemade tortillas has been a game changer! It’s delicious!
Mary M.
I made a cherry pie with Fatworks and butter, It was delicious. I abutter.and m 78 yrs old and my mom used to make her pies with lard and butter. My pie was good but not as good as hers.
Victoria T.
I ordered 2 jars of leaf lard. They came packaged in individual protected packaging... Really nice. No issues at all. Gave one to a friend and kept the other one. We are making Tamales soon. Had used shortening previously and decided to go Hog wild and make authentic tamales...
Lisa D.
I used leaf lard instead of shortening to make a crust for our favorite chicken pot pie recipe and it was fabulous. I’ll definitely be purchasing this again. Highly recommend.
Naomi A.
The smoothest animal fat ever. Yammy with raw meat, as is, and great on the skin.
Barbro B.
Too smelly! I am sure it would be just fine for cooking, but I use it for dry skin. Not so good with that kind of smell, so next time I might reconsider. I have used other leaf lards practically without smell, so I was a bit disappointed.
Stacey F.
This is the best product and equally great company. I live in Florida and wanted to buy some Leaf Lard for a special Christmas baking project that I had. I called them (in Colorado)the week before Christmas. They were able to mail it that day and it arrived at my house that Friday. I was so happy and my Christmas Tree Rolls turned out perfect. What a pleasure doing business with this 5* company.
Thank you again!
Terry D.
The best for baking and my cast iron skillets love it too! Great product and service! Highly recommended.
Andrea W.
Used this lard to make homemade tortilla chips, and they were amazing. I will not use anything else for frying again. TY Fatworks!
Sara H.
Apple pie had the flakiest crust ever! Awesome product—will never go back
Derrick W.
Used this instead of butter for grilled cheese and baking cookies! So good! Well buy more!
Debbie Y C.
I made tamales with some of the lard I ordered and they turned out really good
peter w.
An essential ingredient along with butter for perfect pastry and a tsp or two in bread dough helps too.
Edward T.
I grew up eating everything cooked in lard. Then came the cholesterol scare. So I never used it again, but now using your product I see it is better than using butter. I use it every morning to fry home fried potatoes. The flavor is very mild and the potatoes brown to perfection. I'll continue to use leaf lard each and every day for every ocassion.
Jamie P.
I read about using leaf lard to make pie crusts and had to try it. My grandmother made wonderful pies and passed her recipes to me. Her crusts used shortening which made them light and flaky; but over the years as I learned more about hydrogenated fats, I switched to all butter crusts.
So, I was looking forward to trying lead lard. Hands down, the best pie crust I have ever made!!! I am so happy with this product and can’t wait to convert other recipes that call for shortening. Shipping was fast, well packaged. I am extra happy with Fatworks relationship with farmers committed to pasture raised, non gmo and organic farming practices. The Fatworks leaf lard is a superior product.
Deborah C.
Made my battered fried chicken crispy brown and delicious!! I definitely recommend.
Weifang T.
I like this product. I used it for stir fry vegetables , taste good.
Jennifer S.
Purchased beef tallow and leaf fat from these folks because I'm sick to death of seed oils. Have since used the leaf fat for cornbread and cooking meat. I am looking forward to using it in my baking projects as well. Haven't had a chance to use the tallow yet but the leaf fat is delicious and very low in scent which makes it versatile for me to use in cakes, etc. Finally found my way back to natural fat and couldn't be happier.
Pamela G.
I have used the Fatworks leaf lard before so I know it is a great product but was concerned when it arrived liquified without it even being warm days here. Called & was told this is not uncommon & told me what to do, it is now in fridge and hasn’t been used yet. We’ll see
Eli D.
I purchased this lard for use in making salves, and it absolutely melts into my skin. I infused it with several ounces of conifer resin, which gave it a wonderful aroma in addition to the medicinal benefits of the resin. When I can't find a local source of rendered fat, I know where to turn.
Audrey P.
GREAT customer service and love their products.
Colette S.
My grandmother made biscuits with lard and when I read the saturatuaded fat content of lard was less than butter, I ordered twice from Amazon. At the time they were caring a brand made by Proper Foods. Recently, because Proper Foods was no longer listed, I ordered a jar of your brand to make biscuits. There is a taste to your lard as well as a color not present in your competators. I did not care for the taste and gave the jar to a friend who seasons his food with bacon greese. I think it will be perfect for seasoning but not for buttermilk biscuit.
Deborah B.
looking forward to making a pie crust with this
Amy K.
this leaf lard makes the best pie crust ever! It is my secret ingredient
Taylor C.
Honestly I’ve been using my own lard and ran out. This is a life saver! I’m glad I went ahead and bought it.
alison C.
Taste is delicious. So far I cook my breakfast eggs with it.
Barbara P.
A long time friend told me about Fatworks and how cooking with lard is a healthier choice in baking. So I tried it. I have used it in homemade “Bisquick”, cakes, cookies, and pie crusts. The textures and tastes have been amazing!
Thank you for this wonderful product!
Paul G.
I made Old Fashioned Lard Biscuits. They turned out awesome. I will be buying more of your products.
Loriel K.
Love this company and their products!
Eric H.
We decided to find a good lard to use for our daily dose of bacon and eggs after reading a finding about how a popular spray we were using wasn't all that healthy. Growing up our mothers used lard so my wife and I thought we need to find a good quality lard to use, and found Fatworks Leaf Lard. After reading the reviews, we were convinced and bought our first jar. It has made a good different in the taste of our food, and we are delighted to be new Fatworks customers.
If you are thinking about using lard, try Fatworks products. They are very easy to use, and are as pure as can be in regards to their products, I know you will like them as much as we do
Olivia P.
This was a gift for my son. He loves your products an is so glad these are back. He’s very happy.
Olivia
Was a gift for my son. He’s so happy to have this product available again. He truly miss it. Arrived on time.
Crystal H.
Makes excellent chocolate chip cookies!
Matthew S.
Quick ship and cooked great!
Alicia
I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Lisa S.
Leaf lard helps make the best pie crusts! Apple pie, anyone?
Dina P.
This is my go to place for buying leaf lard. It is what you expect leaf lard to be, good quality, and perfect for my baked goods.
Kristina G.
The care that went into packaging this product was beyond my experience in the past and was in perfect condition! I couldn't wait to get started using these jars so I used them right away. I'm just now getting into eating Lard (25yr vegetarian) so taste is a big deal to me since its not something I'm used and the Leaf Lard has proven to be a great place to start. I had zero issues with separation with my jars. I originally found this company on Amazon but decided to order direct from Fatworks to make sure they didn't have to pay the fees to sell through Amazon. I'm thankful for companies like Fatworks and will continue to support/purchase from them in the future.
David S.
Good but too expensive. Plus a delivery fee of over $11 on just 2 small jars. No bang for the buck here.
Cindy J.
Actually I was going to contact you. Why was the product sent out of date?? The date stamped is October 6, 2022. It has a big air bubble and to me the color is off. For what I paid, I’m not sure if I will reorder again. I use leaf lard exclusively for pie crusts..
AJ Adams A.
I love fatworks! I have been on a wellness journey and have lost 70 lbs. Exercising and changing my diet have been a huge part of the journey and fatworks has been there every step of the way making the food I eat delicious and nutritious! I should have uploaded the photoshop of me sitting next to my fat self that I made instead of this delicious food. Hahahaha
Kathleen E.
I've always had trouble making good pie crust, and a friend recommended leaf lard. I'd never heard of it! Couldn't find it locally, so I was happy to find Fatworks. The online ordering was easy, and I was able to track my shipment easily. My Thanksgiving pies were the best I've ever made. Looking forward to making biscuits next!
Earl N.
It was what I ordered. It was securely packaged. It came in a reasonable time. It was expensive.
Rozann J.
Love this Leaf Lard for baking delicate pastry doughs. My grandmother an Italian baker swore by Leaf Lard- her pastries were light and flakey with no porky taste.
Jean M.
I bought Leaf Lard as a gift for my cousin who was wanting to make a pie crust like our Grandma used to make. I had it shipped directly to her and it arrived on time and in great shape. Praise The Lard, the pie turned out terrific and got a thumbs up from her husband and his friend, as well as requests for a second piece.
Charlotte P.
I love to use your leaf lard to make my pie crust!
