Piztons lard. The only company without an internet presence that runs commercials. EST Last night.

This thread is the only relevant thing in the Google search...

Lard can't be transparent, so even if the OP meant if lard is sold as transparent it isn't as good as thick lard, it wouldn't make sense.

Some Lard Tips For All of You:
-If you store lard properly in the refirgerator in an air-tight container it will last about a year
-If you decide to freeze it, in an air-tight container it will last over 3 years
-You should never try freezing lard in its original packaging. this will result in freezer burn and change of texture
-Defrosted lard can keep in the refrigerator safely without spoiling for up to 6 months.
-Never store your lard in an open container in one of your kitchen cabinets because mice, rats and insects will feed on it and cause it too spoil or become contaminated with fecal matter and harmful bacteria that is dangerous to your health.

Remember if you aren't sure if your lard has gone bad or not - just throw it out to be safe.

Stay lard safe everyone!

Is it possible that could be manufactured partly transparent, or at least translucent/clearish?

Something I just thought of: Piztons, Inc. could be a small business run out of someone's house, therefore not obvious on Google Maps. A business like this may not have a website, especially in such a small town. Though unless lard is insanely popular there, I don't see how they could be a major sponsor of an FRC team.
