I bought 2 2lb containers of the lard and they both expire on Dec 17th of 2025! They were to be Christmas gifts for family members!
Excellent product! Provide great flavor to the cook food, just like in the old day!
Every year we have fried oysters for Christmas Eve. Last year I decided to try something different and used the Traditional Lard Shortening. I was quite concerned as it heated up because the smell was a little strong. However, the odor quickly went away and from the first batch of oysters until the last (a gallon), the color and flavor were perfect. With peanut oil - which we used in the past - the oil quickly darkened and degraded making each batch worse than the previous. Also, in the past our house had an intense smell of friend oysters on Christmas morning. There was literally no fried food odor left over last year. Maybe all of this way my imagination?? Anyway, we are trying it again this year and now I know I can strain and reuse the lard. Win, win!
