£9.95
Pork back fat, also called fatback, is the subcutaneous fat from along the pig’s back. It is different from pork rind, which is the skin, and from lard, which is pork fat after rendering.
Back fat gives you a dedicated piece of pork fat that can be diced or minced to suit the recipe. Grid Iron’s standard 1kg Back Fat is the format intended for fine dicing and mincing for sausages, salami, pâté, terrines and black pudding.
Need thicker pieces? Grid Iron also has a separate Thick Pork Back Fat product, selected from pieces around 1cm+ when available. For fine dicing or mincing into sausages and salami, use this standard 1kg Back Fat.
Back fat can also be rendered into pork lard. The raw fat supplied here is not rendered lard.

I was expecting trimmings of back fat, these were lovely big slabs of fat and perfect. Well packaged and delivered on time can’t speak more highly.

Ordered backfat to make sausages. It arrived well packed and fresh. Highly recommended if you make your own sausages.

The picture showed proper back fat. Thick and at least 2 inches. What I get was pieces of very thin fat. Quality was really good but what I expected.

The product is great, but not so good is being completely ignored when emailing twice (25 June and 5 July) asking how long this product will last in the fridge or indeed, whether it should be divided and frozen in smaller pieces. Very disappointed at this lack of courtesy and still awaiting response!

My search for good quality back fat for my sausage making has finally ended. I had asked all my local butchers and even farms, only to be offered soft offcuts. Grid Iron certainly delivered – quality, firm, backfat!
