Where to get a fat press please

Postby Swing Swang » Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:10 am

After butchering a couple fo pigs I now have a fair bit of fat that
I want to render into lard and turn into torresmos prensados (a solid block of scratchings from which all the fat has been squished, very popular in Portugal/Brazil). For this I'll need a fat press. Has anyone used anything similar to this, or know where to get a more suitable item?

It looks similar to the presses they use for cheese, maybe a supplier to those hobbyists would have something.

That's what I thought - I'm guessing that any small all metal fruit/cheese press will do - just putting it on this page in case someone with experience of pressing their own lard/scratchings has reccommendations based on personal experience.

They have smaller sizes. On the Canadian it's described for meat and cheese as well
