The leaf fat is a small mass of visceral fat found around the kidneys & loin of the hog. It's prized for it's neutral taste when rendered - meaning it's not as "porky" as regular back fat when rendered into lard. If you're looking to add fat to ground venison or other game, try our regular fat, as it will mix better than leaf fat.
When rendered, leaf fat will produce a creamy white, neutral lard perfect for baking pies, pastries, and other sweets.
