Back when I was a yoot, my dad and I would butcher one or two hogs a
year; made lots of sausage, cured and smoked the bacon and hams, and we
would render the lard. It (the lard) made the best pound cakes you can
imagine -- much better than butter.

If I recall correctly, most of those hogs were... eunuchs. Certainly
virgins; "extra virgin" would not be a stretch of the language.
