How to choose lard for baking?
- I advise you to take lard fresh, not thawed, and not salted. Otherwise, it will be tough.
- Also take white lard, which means that the animal is young. The old product has a yellow color.
- Choose a piece with a thin skin, because thick will be hard to chew.
2. Stir the salt with black pepper and brush the bacon well on all sides.

3. Wrap the bacon with cling film or foil, and tie it with thread for better fixation.
4. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send it to bake for half an hour. Do not keep it in the oven for too long, otherwise a lot of fat will melt and the piece will not turn out so juicy. Serve the finished baked bacon in the oven warm or chilled.
