For decades, lard was demonized as an unhealthy fat, but modern dietary science is prompting a re-evaluation of traditional cooking oils. A single tablespoon of Armour Lard contains 120 calories and 6g of saturated fat, accounting for 30% of the recommended daily value.

According to the official Armourlard website, standard Armour Lard is made with a blend of refined lard and fully hydrogenated lard. This process is different from partial hydrogenation and significantly impacts the fat's stability, texture, and shelf life, making it a reliable ingredient for many recipes.
