Get "Back to Basics" with our Nutrient-Rich Beef Tallow

Natural and Non-Toxic: Tallow is a natural product, free from synthetic chemicals and additives, making it a safer choice for cooking, conditioning leather, wood, and metal, as well as for maintaining cast iron cookware.

Nutrient-Rich: Tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, which are essential for various bodily functions.

Healthy Fats: Tallow is rich in saturated and monounsaturated fats, which are stable at high temperatures and less likely to oxidize and form harmful compounds compared to polyunsaturated fats found in many seed oils.

Anti-Inflammatory: Tallow has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can benefit overall health.

Balanced Omega Fatty Acids: Tallow typically has a more balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, whereas many seed oils are high in omega-6, which can contribute to inflammation if not balanced with omega-3 intake.

High Smoke Point: Tallow has a high smoke point (~420°F), making it ideal for frying, sautéing, and other high-heat cooking methods.

Flavour: Tallow imparts a rich, savoury flavour to foods, enhancing the taste of dishes.

Sustainability

• Byproduct Utilization: Tallow is a byproduct of meat production, promoting the efficient use of the whole animal.
• Environmental Impact: Using tallow can reduce reliance on industrial seed oil production, which often involves intensive farming practices and chemical processing.
• Eco-Friendly: Using tallow as a conditioner and lubricant promotes the sustainable use of animal byproducts, reducing waste and supporting environmentally conscious practices.

Natural and Minimal Processing:

• Less Processed: Compared to seed oils, tallow requires minimal processing, retaining more of its natural nutrients and beneficial properties.

Cast Iron Care - our tallow's #1 selling feature!

• Seasoning: Tallow is excellent for seasoning cast iron cookware. Seasoning involves coating the cast iron with a layer of fat and heating it to create a non-stick, protective surface. Tallow's high smoke point and stability make it ideal for this purpose.
• Maintenance: Regular application of tallow to cast iron cookware helps maintain its non-stick properties and prevents rust. It also enhances the cookware's longevity and performance.

Cooking

• Frying: Ideal for deep frying due to its high smoke point.
• Sautéing: Provides a stable and flavorful cooking fat for sautéing vegetables and meats.
• Baking: Can be used in place of butter or other fats in baking recipes.

Skincare

• Moisturizer: Tallow is an excellent moisturizer for skin due to its similarity to the fatty acids found in human skin.
• Healing Balms: Used in balms and salves for its healing properties and ability to repair damaged skin.

Leather Conditioner

• Moisturizing and Softening: Tallow can be used to condition leather, helping to keep it soft, supple, and moisturized. It prevents cracking and drying out, extending the life of leather goods.
• Waterproofing: Tallow can add a layer of water resistance to leather, protecting it from moisture and enhancing its durability.

Wood Conditioner

• Polishing and Preserving: Tallow can be applied to wood surfaces to nourish the wood, enhance its natural grain, and provide a protective layer. This helps prevent drying and cracking, and can bring out a rich sheen in the wood.
• Natural Finish: Using tallow as a wood conditioner provides a natural finish without the use of synthetic chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Metal Lubricant

• Rust Prevention: Tallow can be used as a lubricant for metal surfaces, helping to prevent rust and corrosion. It creates a protective barrier that shields metal from moisture and air.
• Smooth Operation: When applied to moving metal parts, such as hinges, screws, and tools, tallow reduces friction and ensures smooth operation.
