Lard Cream

100% pigs born and raised in the wild on the Tolfa mountains, seasoned with salt, chilli pepper and marjoram

A white cloud that melts at the first heat: the secret seasoning that transforms a crostini into a masterpiece.

Poggio Felicioso Lard Cream

Poggio Felicioso Lard Cream is the spreadable essence of wild pork: lard from pigs born and raised 100% free-range in the Tolfa mountains, finely blended with salt, chili pepper, and marjoram until it becomes a soft, fragrant cream. Here, fat isn't just any ingredient; it's the star, and the difference is noticeable: the animals roam free year-round, fed organic grains and never treated with antibiotics, resulting in a sweet, aromatic lard that's never cloying. Free from chemical preservatives or artificial additives, and CCPB certified: a small jar that hides enormous gastronomic potential.

The roots of this Lard Cream are deep in tradition

Lard is the food that built the Italy of toil: in Colonnata, among the marble quarries of the Apuan Alps, the quarrymen cured it in the famous marble basins with herbs and spices, making it the fuel for their long days among the white blocks. Minced lard, pounded with herbs until it became a cream, was a daily practice in peasant kitchens throughout Italy: the base of every important soffritto, the condiment that gave life to soups and minestrone when oil was a luxury. From the marble mountains to the Lazio countryside, lard cream speaks of an Italy that knew how to transform the essential into riches.

Choosing Lard Cream means taking care of yourself

Quality lard should be judged by its origin: in free-range pigs, fat is built up through daily exercise and a natural diet of organic grains, developing a more balanced profile, with an aromatic component that allows for minimal use while maximizing flavor. Marjoram and chili pepper add their essential oils, prized in herbalist tradition for their digestive and stimulating properties. Free from chemical preservatives or artificial additives, free from antibiotics during breeding, and certified organic by CCPB: an ancient pleasure, to be enjoyed with joy.
