You can't make as good bread
without Crusto as you can with
Crusto. You get bread of fnel
texture, crisper crust, greater del
icacy of flavor and an assured
snowiness of color.
Crusto was made with just one purpose
in view-to perform all good lard's duties
and to eliminate all of even the best lard's
faults. 1t does just that.
1t is absolutely pure-it is an ideal short
ener and frying medium. 1t is without
color, odor and havor-therefore, it brings
out and intensifes all these desirable quail
tiles in the materials it is used with.
Compare Crusto with your deal-you'H find
them identical.
