Sourcing Pure Lard

The easiest method for obtaining pure lard may well be to render it yourself. You will need access to the best pig fat you can get – preferably the leaf fat deposited around the kidney area of the animal. But if you can’t find the fat, or don’t care to render, you can find high-quality lard online, at the farmers’ market and at specialty markets.
