Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping™ is a legacy product that has been made the same way for over 100 years. When a beef roast is cooked in the oven, beef fat is rendered from the meat. This fat collects in the bottom of the roasting pan and imparts a distinct flavour to the food. Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping is made this way by heating beef fat and recovering the rendered tallow. It cooks and improves the flavour of fish fillets, chicken fingers, pork cutlets, potatoes and vegetables. The dripping is lightly filtered so the fat is a pale, golden brown. It still carries a hint of beef flavour and aroma when heated and remains heat stable, therefore reducing the frequency of frying oil changes. No other ingredients are added so it is a clean label product.

Fryers Choice®, similar to Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping™, is made from rendered beef fat. The product, however, is refined, bleached and deodorized in a way to make it suitable for commercial deep frying. The beef aroma and colour are removed so only the flavours of the food being cooked are tasted. Beef fat is approximately 40% saturated and 60% mono- and polyunsaturated fat. This adds stability during cooking so the fat does not break down as quickly during repetitive use. Antioxidants are added to extend the cooking life and antifoaming agents prevent foaming when foods are added to the hot fat.
Multi-Purpose Shortening is a deep-frying fat combining the best features of Hubberts Pure Beef Dripping™ and Fryers Choice®. The fat is only partially deodorized so it retains a mild hint of beef taste and flavour. It is an excellent choice for making fish and chips and other fried foods. Antioxidants and antifoaming agents are added at a low level to prolong the life of the fat in deep fryers.
Flavorplus Shortening™ is a unique frying fat created to combine the advantages of Fryers Choice® with the ease of handling vegetable oils. Beef fat is carefully blended with a small amount of refined canola oil and sealed in a Cryovac sleeve. Each sleeve weighs eight pounds and is specifically designed to minimize leakage and reduce oxidation. Just snip off the end of the package and add directly to the deep fryer. Flavorplus Shortening brings the same flavour to deep-fried foods that one would get with other beef fat shortenings. Antioxidants and antifoaming agents are added to extend frying life.
Lard is used in baking applications to produce light, flaky crusts. Made from Canadian sources in Ontario and Manitoba, Canadian Premium Lard™ produces the flakiness that the best chefs seek for their pie crusts and pastries. It blends easily with flour and when baked, the lard crystals melt away leaving pastry flakes. Canadian Premium Lard is fully refined and deodorized so the distinctive flavour and aroma of lard is removed and the taste of baked goods fully comes through. There are no trans-fats and the product is high in oleic acid (similar to olive oil). A small amount of citric acid is added to extend the shelf life.
Bakers Lard™ can be used for baking, deep frying and making Mexican foods such as tortillas. As with our Canadian Premium Lard™, the fat is sourced in Canada and refined and deodorized to enhance the flavour of the foods being prepared. As with all of our pure lard-based products, there are zero trans-fats. When baking, it promotes flakiness in pie shells and pizza crusts. As a deep-frying fat, it is similar to beef fat in its ability to enhance the flavours of the food being cooked. Bakers Lard contains antioxidants to promote a longer frying life.
Special Blend is a lard-based frying fat combined with a small amount of beef tallow. As with our other pork products, it is formulated from deodorized Canadian lard making it suitable for both baking and deep frying. Antioxidants and antifoam agents are added to extend the frying life. This product is popular in Québec where it complements traditional Québécois cuisine.
