Lard is a high-calorie product, so it is impossible to eat a lot of it.
Most often, lard is stored in the refrigerator or freezer, thinking that it can stay there for years.
Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova is ready to tell you about the correct shelf life of a product and whether it can actually last that long.
How to properly store lard
If we are talking about small portions of the product, then it can be left in the refrigerator for several days.
However, if you need to store a fairly large piece of lard, then it is better to use the freezer for this.
Contrary to popular belief, lard can only be stored for a few months. The raw product should be consumed within two months, smoked lard can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
It is also important to pack it correctly. It is recommended to wrap the lard in canvas or paper, then place it in a plastic bag and store it.
