Best Answer

Lard is basically pig fat and was often used in many foods as a cooking fat or as a spread similar to butter. Its use in modern cuisine has diminished because of health concerns posed by its saturated fat content. The qualities of lard can vary based on which part of the pig the fat was taken from and how the lard was processed. Lard is still used to manufacture soap.
