About Lardo
Lardo is a traditional Italian delicacy made from cured pork fat, typically taken from the back of the pig. Seasoned with salt, herbs, and spices such as rosemary, garlic, and black pepper, it is left to age for several months, resulting in a creamy texture and rich flavor. Lardo originated in central and northern Italy, with famous varieties like "Lardo di Colonnata" and "Lardo d’Arnad" recognized as regional specialties. While it is prized for its ability to melt and enhance the flavor of dishes, lardo is high in saturated fats, making it an indulgence best enjoyed in moderation. It provides a source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins but lacks significant protein or fiber. Traditionally served thinly sliced, it complements bread, cheeses, and salads, embodying the luxurious simplicity of Italian cuisine.
