Bank Brothers Sustainable Ingredients Multi-Purpose Shortening is a deep-frying fat combining the best features of Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping™ and Fryers Choice®. The fat is only partially deodorized so it retains a mild hint of beef taste and flavor. It is an excellent choice for making fish and chips and other fried foods. Antioxidants and antifoaming agents are added at a low level to prolong the life of the fat in deep fryers.

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.

Bank Brothers Sustainable Ingredients Liquid Fry Shortening is a newly formulated blend of soybean oils that will produce appetizing, excellent tasting fried foods whether deep fried or griddle fried. Liquid Fry Shortening can be purchased in a standard bottle-in-box (BNB) or a heavy-duty pail that can be repurposed for other uses in your kitchen. The antioxidants are a combination of a natural preservative, rosemary extract with ascorbic acid (vitamin C). An antifoam agent is also added for safety during deep-frying.

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.

Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping™ is a legacy product that has been made the same way for over 100 years. When a beef roast is cooked in the oven, beef fat is rendered from the meat. This fat collects in the bottom of the roasting pan and imparts a distinct flavor to the food. Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping is made this way by heating beef fat and recovering the rendered tallow. It cooks and improves the flavor of fish filets, chicken fingers, pork cutlets, potatoes and vegetables. The dripping is lightly filtered so the fat is a pale, golden brown. It still carries a hint of beef flavor and aroma when heated and remains heat stable, therefore reducing the frequency of frying oil changes. No other ingredients are added so it is a clean label product.

Flavorplus™ Shortening is a unique frying fat created to combine the advantages of Fryers Choice® with the ease of handling vegetable oils. Beef fat is carefully blended with a small amount of refined canola oil and sealed in a Cryovac sleeve. Each sleeve weighs eight pounds and is specifically designed to minimize leakage and reduce oxidation. Just snip off the end of the package and add directly to the deep fryer. Flavorplus Shortening brings the same flavor to deep-fried foods that one would get with other beef fat shortenings. Antioxidants and antifoaming agents are added to extend frying life.

Bank Brothers Sustainable Ingredients Special Blend is a lard-based frying fat combined with a small amount of beef tallow. As with our other pork products, it is formulated from deodorized Canadian lard making it suitable for both baking and deep frying. Antioxidants and antifoam agents are added to extend the frying life. This product is popular in Québec where it complements traditional Québécois cuisine.
