Lard
semi-solid white fat product obtained by rendering the fatty tissue of the pig / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lard is rendered pig fat that is used in cooking. Before, many cuisines used it as a cooking fat or shortening, or as a spread similar to butter. It is not used as much as before. Many cooks and bakers still like it better than other fats for some things. It also has a high smoke point.[1]
