STORING LARD
Lard was used and stored for centuries before refrigeration was invented.  It will keep at room temperature for a long time (traditionally many kept it for up to a year).  Lard can also be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. 
SHELF STABILITY
Homemade rendered lard is very shelf stable.  The process of rendering it removes excess water and other impurities, thus preserving the fat and keeping it from spoiling.
IS LARD PASTEURIZED?  
Because lard is a pure fat and does not contain enough water to support bacterial growth (i.e., causing spoilage) lard doesn’t need to be pasteurized.
