Meet Monica from Lard Ass - Victoria, Australia

October 26, 2023 • Grown Not Flown • Season 1 • Episode 9

Lard Ass was founded by Monica Cavarsan, a dairy farmer’s daughter who grew up in Western Victoria, Aus surrounded by the creamy goodness of fresh milk and churned butter.

Proud of her Italian heritage where food was grown and sourced locally, and growing up with her 6 brothers and sisters helping Mum, Bertilla and Dad, Tony manage the family farm, Lard Ass grew out of a yearning for simple, goodness bringing back great taste in butter.

Monica and Lard Ass values the simple, age-old approach to creating tasty, creamy butter using European imported cultures. She single batch churns cream that is ripened to produce a flavour that is both rich and creamy. With a high butterfat content, Lard Ass cultured butter is ideal for cooking, baking or simply devouring on fresh sourdough or crackers. It looks and feels like butter with a fresh hearty taste.
