lard vs. oil
Please be careful. There is a very big difference between oil and lard.
Lard
Rendered and clarified hog fat. Lard is richer than many other fats, and makes suberbly tender, flaky biscuits and pastries. The drawback is that 1 tablespoon contains 116 calories, 13 grams of fat and 12 Mg of cholesterol.
Olive oil
Comes from the olive tree!
There is a big difference!
