Patanegra Lard takes you to the heart of Iberian culinary tradition with authentic taste and extraordinary nutritional benefits. Discover more about this exceptional product that will captivate your palate and your health. Iberian Authenticity: Our Patanegra Lard is 100% Iberian, sourced from pigs raised freely in oak and cork forests. Their diet of oak acorns and grass gives this lard a genuine taste that takes you directly to Spain. Quality and Purity: The slaughtering of these pigs is carried out with extreme care, preserving the quality and purity of the meat. This ensures that Patanegra Lard retains its authentic and nutritious flavor. Nutritional Benefits: Despite its fatty nature, Patanegra Lard is surprisingly healthy. The oak acorns that the pigs feed on are rich in oleic acid, similar to extra virgin olive oil. This type of "good" fat helps maintain cardiovascular health and reduce cholesterol levels. Vitamins and Minerals: Besides its extraordinary taste, Patanegra Lard is a source of vitamins B1, B6, B12, and Folic Acid, along with essential minerals like Zinc. These elements make this lard a healthy and tasty addition to your daily diet. Versatile and Delicious: Patanegra Lard pairs perfectly with bread crostini, chestnut honey, nuts, and cheeses. It is ideal for appetizers, snacks, platters, or buffets. You can enjoy it plain or paired with a good glass of wine. Don't Fear Cholesterol: If you have concerns about cholesterol, know that the fat in Patanegra Lard is different. Thanks to oleic acid, this fat is similar to vegetable fat and contributes to your cardiovascular health. However, remember that it is important to moderate consumption if you have weight or high cholesterol issues. Pairings: Aged Pata Negra Lard in a marble basin is a prized and flavorful product. For an effective and typical pairing, I recommend serving it with thin slices of toasted bread and accompanying it with a selection of aged cheeses, such as Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano. Additionally, it can be enriched with a drizzle of honey or balsamic vinegar for a touch of sweetness or acidity. In cooking, Patanegra Lard can be used to flavor dishes like pasta, by dicing it and sautéing it in a pan with garlic and chili to create a tasty seasoning. It can also be used to wrap meats or fish before cooking, giving an intense flavor and unique tenderness.
