Salted lard is a respected product among many peoples of the world. It is especially loved in European countries. Although there are sometimes lard with layers of meat called bacon, it still remains pork lard. Pork lard is also loved in Italy; it was the ancient Roman soldiers who salted lard in large marble baths and took it on long campaigns. Well, delicious Ukrainian lard is known far beyond the borders of this country.
Lovers of salted lard can prepare it deliciously using the simple recipe below. It is important to choose a good piece of fresh lard with a skin thickness of at least 4-5 cm. The skin should be smooth, without any remaining bristles, and come away well from the lard. If it is impossible to separate the skin with a little effort, then it is better to refuse to buy such lard; in its finished form it will be somewhat harsh.
