For how long does fatty pig skin stay good in the fridge?

For re-seasoning my old cast-iron frying pain, I got some pig fat from the butcher, with the skin still on it. After having postponed the job for five days, I moved the fatty skin from the fridge to the freezer. Is it still good?

Yes. Or so I say.
You're seasoning, which requires high heat.
I wouldn't worry.

You betcha. Makes for some outstanding Chinese festival dishes. It's still ok for your purposes.

Lard will keep a couple weeks in the fridge and longer in the freezer. Fat will still go rancid in the freezer but the process will take longer -- you can help this by removing as much air from the storage bag as you can, as oxygen helps rancidify the fats.
