About Lardon
Lardon is a type of small, thick baton of pork fat, typically sourced from cured pork belly or fatback. A staple in French cuisine, it is prized for its rich flavor and versatile use in dishes like salads, quiches, and stews. Often rendered to release its fat, lardons impart a smoky, savory depth to recipes. While they are high in fat, including saturated fat, they can be a flavorful addition when used sparingly, contributing protein and energy. However, excessive consumption may not align with heart-healthy diets due to their fat and salt content. They are best enjoyed as an accent to dishes rather than as a primary ingredient, ensuring a balance of flavor and nutrition. Opt for high-quality, minimally processed lardons to avoid unnecessary additives.
