From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lard oil is a low melting point fraction of lard. The oil is pressed from lard crystallized by cooling it to 7° C.
Lard oil is the clear, colourless oil pressed from pure lard after it has been crystallized, or grained, at 7° C (45° F). It is used as a lubricant, in cutting oils, and in soap manufacture. The solid residue, lard stearin, is used in shortenings and as a source of saturated fatty acids.
Lard oil: a versatile product
Lard oil is a liquid olein product derived from pig fat which is safe for human consumption.
Pig fat contains fractions with different melting points. Ten Kate has developed a process for mechanically separating the fractions with a low melting point (the olein fraction) and a high melting point (the stearine fraction). The olein fraction, which we sell under the name of lard oil, can be used for a wide range of purposes.

For food producers, lard oil is as an excellent substitute for the more expensive fish oil and rape seed oil. Its special properties also make lard oil suitable for use in many technical products. For example, it is used in the leather industry to soften leather and in the metal industry lard oil is used as rolling oil.
