Lardo was a delicacy from the land of Cavatura, in the southern Old World, made from the paunch fat of a boar. It was a favorite of Victor Cascella and the marble workers of Cavatura. Victor introduced Richard to lardo during the Lord Rahl's captivity in Altur'Rang. Kahlan was also quite fond of it, and she had memories of it being given to her by marble workers during construction at the Confessors' Palace. Proper Lardo had to be aged for a year in white marble tubs, and was only made by men. Lardo was eaten by workers in Cavatura(Victor's homeland) to give them the strength to keep working.
