Frelimo Information

Frelimo trade, established in 2003 as the continuator of the successful butcher tradition of the family, is solely focused on the production of lard and cracklings. In the modern production facility, decorated and equipped according to HACCP standards, domestic, local workers are exclusively employed. The combination of traditional knowledge, systematic maintenance of health safety and high quality of products, as well as the possibility of daily deliveries of large amounts of fresh goods, have resulted in the immense popularity of the Samobor cracklings and lard. In 2014 with more than 43 tons of sold cracklings and more than 110 tons of lard, delivered to individual customers as well as large bakery industries, we are the biggest specialized Croatian manufacturer of these products. We are the forerunners of the trend of the return to the original diet of our ancestors - authentic, simple, without harmful additives or artificial colors and preservatives. CRACKLINGS Cracklings are a traditional dish, made by melting little pieces of pork bacon in a metal cauldron. Milk, tiny bits of onion, and at the end - salt, are being added to the cracklings during the process. And so our cracklings are just like traditional - beautiful reddish-yellow, crispy, fragrant and pleasantly salty. DELI CRACKLINGS When almost all fat is squeezed out from the cracklings, that results in delicious, thin crispy slices, which we call deli cracklings. LARD Used for generations as a fat for cooking and eating, and unfairly eclipsed by the emergence of industrially produced margarines and oils, lard is enjoying a renewed popularity due to series of published studies and publications which deny its alleged harmfulness.
