About Lardoons

Lardoons are strips or small pieces of fatty meat, commonly cut from bacon or pork fat, and used as a cooking ingredient. The plural term does not specify the cut, size, or whether the pieces have been cured.

They may be cooked until browned, often rendering some of their fat, before being added to other foods. Their flavour and texture depend on the meat-to-fat ratio, curing, and cooking method; the record does not identify a particular formulation or preparation.
