It was always thought that a piece of lard on the table was a sign of wealth in the family, and therefore on the eve of Orthodox holidays our ancestors tried to salt lard so that it was stored for longer and was very tasty.

Why exactly in brine because lard turns out tastier. Find out why in our step-by-step recipe with photos!
