Best Lards of 2026

"I've completely switched from Crisco to this product, and I’m thrilled with the results—my biscuits are always light and fluffy. I love that it’s a more natural choice for my baking!"

"After using lard and tallow for a couple of years, I can say this lard is super clean with no odor and makes the crispiest fried foods. The only downside is the price has gone up since I first started buying."

"This is a high-quality lard without preservatives—exactly what I want for my pantry. It’s made my pie crusts incredibly flaky and delicious. Even though shipping takes a little while and it’s a bit pricey, the superb quality is worth it."

"I've used this lard for moisturizing my skin and hair and found it to be odorless, lightweight, and non-greasy. It absorbs quickly and is gentle on skin, plus it's a budget-friendly alternative to many facial products. I also appreciate that it contains no artificial fragrances or harmful chemicals."

"The product arrived faster than expected and was securely packaged. I like that it's factory sealed and labeled with a date. When used for cooking, it is completely neutral in taste and doesn't leave any pork flavor, which makes it ideal for baking and skillet use."

"I'm planning to use this lard for soap making. It seems to be a great quality product for that purpose."

"I've switched almost entirely to this Wagyu tallow in my kitchen. The flavor is outstanding, and it lasts for months, making it worth the initial investment. It’s great for everything from searing steaks to frying potatoes. This has become my go-to for healthy cooking fats."

"As someone on a keto diet, this tallow is a game changer. The clean, rich taste elevates any dish, and the 100% pure Wagyu quality is impressive. I appreciate how well it performs at high heat and how versatile it is with different cooking methods."

"I love the results I get with this tallow—crisp eggs, caramelized veggies, and restaurant-quality steaks. The only minor issue I’ve had is with the packaging leaking during shipping, but transferring it to another container solved that. Still, the taste and versatility make it a staple for me."

"I use this tallow for most of my frying, especially for eggs and stir-fries, and it always delivers a great, clean flavor. I switched from butter to cut back on fats, and I'm impressed by how well it works for pan-searing meats. The texture is smooth, and I need much less than butter. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a pure cooking fat."

"This is my first time buying tallow, and I'm happy I chose this brand. The smoke point is impressive, and the consistency is perfect for both pan and deep frying. My fish comes out tastier than with vegetable oil, and the flavor is never overpowering. I’m planning on getting a larger container next time."

"As someone following a carnivore diet, this tallow makes all my meat dishes taste rich and satisfying. I also appreciate that it’s organic, grass-fed, and pure—you can really tell the difference in quality. Great value for the health benefits."

"I love how Bacon Up saves me the trouble of rendering my own bacon grease. It delivers a strong, authentic bacon flavor that makes everything—from eggs to burgers—taste amazing. The high smoke point and easy-to-use tub make it perfect for my Blackstone griddle. I just have to be careful not to use too much, since the flavor can be quite intense."

"This product is super clean and smells incredible right out of the container. I use it in lots of recipes, and if you’re a bacon fan, you’ll really appreciate how convenient and tasty it is. I’ve already ordered more!"

"No more cooking tons of bacon just to get grease! Bacon Up works perfectly for fried eggs, potatoes, and pork chops. It’s so much easier and always delivers that authentic bacon taste. I highly recommend it."

"I've found this product to be incredibly versatile, using it for everything from carnitas to seasoning cast iron pans. The quality is top-notch, and it’s become a staple in my kitchen."

"For me, this is a kitchen essential—it’s delicious, easy to cook with, and adds a great boost of flavor to steaks, poultry, and potatoes. I use it in many different recipes and I love how well it melts and cooks."

"I tried using this for making a beard balm and butter, but the scent was too strong for my liking, even after diluting and adding essential oils. It just didn’t work for my non-culinary needs."

"I tried this brand for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it is—definitely worth the purchase!"

"I found it to be a fun and unique ingredient to cook with, and I appreciate that it's also good for my heart."

"This added just the right amount of fat and brought extra richness and depth to my homemade stock."

"If you've ever tried Berkshire pork, you'll notice a huge difference in flavor and quality compared to supermarket pork. The fat in this product is incredibly clean and neutral, adding amazing mouthfeel without being heavy or greasy. It's my go-to for pan frying and searing, especially for chicken, pork, and even fish after sous vide. I've mostly replaced vegetable oils with this because it enhances flavor, doesn't cause heartburn, and isn't absorbed excessively by food. Truly a remarkable product, although I wish it came in bigger tubs."

"This tub of lard has become a kitchen staple for me! It melts smoothly, makes pie crusts and fried foods super crisp, and is perfect for both baking and roasting. The quality is excellent and it lasts a long time. I highly recommend it for anyone serious about cooking."

"I was disappointed when I opened my tub because the lard was mostly liquid with white chunks floating in it, even though it was stored in a cool garage. It should have been solid. I ended up tossing it out and couldn't use it for my pie crust as planned. Lesson learned about checking freshness sooner."

"I've completely switched to this tallow for cooking—it’s so clean and makes everything taste incredible. It’s now my go-to for baking and frying. The subtle, beefy aroma at higher temps is just like homemade broth."

"After trying this for deep frying, I can say my turkey turned out the juiciest ever—my family couldn’t stop talking about it! I needed several tubs for a big batch, but it was totally worth it."

"This is the best value I’ve found for beef tallow. The quality is outstanding and the large tub lasts me months. Only minor gripe: the lid was a bit stubborn, so I transferred some to a smaller container for daily use."
