Our tallow is rendered from beef suet. Suet is the tender fat that surrounds the cow's kidneys. Unlike conventional tallow, grass-fed tallow has a yellow tint from the beta-carotene cows get from grazing on grass. Tallow has a smoking point of 420 to 450. Tallow has a very high melting point and very mild flavor which makes it perfect for all cooking types, from baking to searing. Once thawed, tallow has a shelf life of 12-18 months.
Using Tallow: Traditionally, tallow is primarily used in cooking as either an ingredient or as an oil substitute. Other non-culinary uses include as a salve, or as a conditioner for leather and wood.
