Bakers Lard™ can be used for baking, deep frying and making Mexican foods such as tortillas. As with our Canadian Premium Lard™, the fat is sourced in Canada and refined and deodorized to enhance the flavor of the foods being prepared. As with all of our pure lard-based products, there are zero trans-fats. When baking, it promotes flakiness in pie shells and pizza crusts. As a deep-frying fat, it is similar to beef fat in its ability to enhance the flavors of the food being cooked. Bakers Lard contains antioxidants to promote a longer frying life.

Fryers Choice® is made from rendered beef fat. The product, however, is refined, bleached and deodorized in a way to make it suitable for commercial deep frying. The beef aroma and color are removed so only the flavors of the food being cooked are tasted. Beef fat is approximately 40% saturated and 60% mono- and polyunsaturated fat. This adds stability during cooking so the fat does not break down as quickly during repetitive use. Antioxidants are added to extend the cooking life and antifoaming agents prevent foaming when foods are added to the hot fat.

Canadian Premium Lard™ is used in baking applications to produce light, flaky crusts. Made from Canadian sources in Ontario and Manitoba, Canadian Premium Lard™ produces the flakiness that the best chefs seek for their pie crusts and pastries. It blends easily with flour and when baked, the lard crystals melt away leaving pastry flakes. Canadian Premium Lard is fully refined and deodorized so the distinctive flavor and aroma of lard is removed and the taste of baked goods fully comes through. There are no trans-fats and the product is high in oleic acid (similar to olive oil). A small amount of citric acid is added to extend the shelf life.
