Tenderflake Pure Lard

Tenderflake is an iconic Canadian brand best known for its lard and pastry products. It was originally launched by Maple Leaf Mills, a company with deep roots in the Canadian agricultural and milling industry. The brand became a staple in Canadian kitchens, particularly for its association with creating flaky, high-quality pie crusts.

Today, Tenderflake is owned by Maple Leaf Foods Inc., one of Canada's largest consumer protein companies. The lard is primarily manufactured within Canada, utilizing domestic supply chains to serve the North American market. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand remains a core part of Maple Leaf Foods' portfolio, maintaining its position as the leading brand of lard in the country.
