Leaf Lard (豬油)

We are unlocking the culinarian's best kept secret. 

Leaf lard or “豬油” (pronounced: zhu you), is lard rendered from the highest quality fat found around the pig’s kidney. It is the butter of Chinese cuisine prized for its ability to add rich, savory depth to wok stir-fries, sautéed vegetables, all Chinese baked goods, pastries, and so much more! Loved universally across cultures, it will also make the flakiest biscuits, pie-crusts, cookies, pastries, and even produce amazing textures for tortillas as well as other flatbreads. Because of its versatility and mild (close to neutral) flavor profile, it is loved by avid home cooks, bakers, and professional chefs alike - there is simply nothing like it. 

We source our fat from pigs raised in local, sustainable farms in Northern California. Our product is unmatched anywhere else given our proprietary precision rendering technique to ensure the cleanest, mildest flavor profile that elevates every dish, and a beautiful snow-white color at room temperature. 

Leaf lard is high in healthy omega-3 fats, monounsaturated fats, and has less saturated fats than butter. It is minimally processed or refined, and 100% all-natural made with a single ingredient - wholesome and nutritious!
