To preserve lard avoid large quantities and keep it in a tightly closed light- and air-proof container such as a wooden pail or crock with a tight lid. Store in a dry place at 50 degrees F or below and use top layers evenly to limit surface exposure. Repack periodically, rotating positions to ensure uniform cure.
