Lard should be stored in a sealed jar, in a cool, dry place, or in the fridge. It will keep for several weeks if stored correctly.
Lard is a versatile and traditional fat in Portuguese cuisine, ideal for frying, roasting and sautéing, adding flavour and crispiness to food. Resistant to high temperatures, it is excellent for crackling, pastry dough, biscuits and finishing dishes, making it a tasty alternative to butter or vegetable oils.
Lard should be melted slowly over a low heat before frying or cooking, to release the flavour without burning.
