Stable and nutritious

Tallow is like lard, but is obtained from the fat of bovine. It has a very high smoke point 230°C, so it is good for cooking and frying. It contains vitamins A, D, E, K and omega 3. It can also be used on the skin of the body and face; it is very nourishing. CAUTION: It has a strong flavor, not as mild as ghi.

Instructions

It is a food fat, so it can be used for pan cooking, or for frying given its smoke point of 250°C. It can also be incorporated into doughs, making them crumblier, increasing their volume, imparting flavor and fragrance, and slowing down their "cooling."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The date shown on NON-fresh products is not the expiration date, but the TMC.

TMC means Minimum Storage Term and is NOT an expiration date. The product is always perfectly edible after this date. When you read “best before...” on a product, it means it is not an expiration date but the TMC minimum shelf life.

PLEASE NOTE: Our products are very stable because they are in powdered form and contain mainly saturated fats, which are naturally very stable. We have tested many of them even more than one year past their TMC date, and they were still in perfect condition, including coconut milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, and arrowroot.

How to tell if a product is still good? Very simple!
Just take a look: are there any signs of mold, insects, or anything unusual?
Smell: smell?
If the answers to these two questions are no, the product is still good.

Think about this: the expiration date was invented 50 years ago. Humankind has existed for 2.5 million years. Your senses are perfectly capable of recognizing a product gone bad. Trust us!

10% of European food waste is caused by the misinterpretation of this date. Tell your friends about this important distinction between TMC and expiration date. Awareness will save the world.

Tallow could also be stored outside the refrigerator, as it contains only fats such as olive oil. However, it contains only 50% saturated fat, so we prefer to recommend storing it in the refrigerator after opening. Always use clean cutlery.

Ghi is made by clarifying butter, that is, by slowly cooking it at a low temperature until protein, water and lactose are removed. What remains is pure fat, with a smoke point of 250°C, due to the presence of as much as 70% saturated fat.

Tallow, on the other hand, is obtained by cooking beef fat at a low temperature. Again, the product obtained is pure fat, with a slightly lower smoke point, 230°C, because it contains less saturated fat, only 50%.

Both contain omega 3 and vitamins A, D, E, K.
Ghi has a milder flavor, tallow a stronger one.
Both contain very little omega-6.

Fun fact: Before the advent of vegetable oils, tallow or lard was used for frying, depending on the animals most available in the geographic area. Until 1990 McDonald's fried its fries in a mixture of 93% tallow and 7% canola oil.

Absolutely. There are several lines of natural tallow cosmetics in America. It seems to be excellently tolerated by sensitive skin. On the other hand, what do you think we have been using for millions of years?

Moisturizer
Tallow is rich in stearic and oleic acids, which deeply moisturize and nourish the skin without clogging pores. You can use it alone or add essential oils for additional benefits. Tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which promote skin regeneration, reduce wrinkles, and fight dryness.

Lip balm
Creates a natural lip balm by combining beef tallow with beeswax. Provides long-lasting hydration and protection.

Soaps
bovine tallow is a traditional base for handmade soaps, offering a creamy lather and excellent moisturizing properties. It is biodegradable and free of synthetic additives.
Healing ointments and balms
Tallow's natural anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for treating skin problems such as cuts, burns and rashes. Combine tallow with herbs such as calendula or chamomile to create a soothing ointment.

Hair care
Use beef tallow as a natural hair mask to nourish and moisturize dry, damaged hair. Melt a small amount and apply it to your hair, concentrating on the ends. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it out with shampoo.

There was a time when we did not have synthetic products. People used animal fats to make many things.

Candles: Beef tallow has been used for centuries to make candles. Its slow-burning properties make it a sustainable and economical option. How to make tallow candles Melt beef tallow and mix it with a small amount of beeswax (optional for more consistency). Pour the mixture into molds or jars, inserting a wick. Let it cool and harden. Light your homemade, eco-friendly candles! Tallow candles burn cleanly, producing less soot than kerosene candles.

For leather and wood: Beef tallow is a natural conditioner for leather and wood, helping to restore and protect these materials. Rub a small amount of tallow on leather shoes, belts or bags to soften them and make them waterproof. Polish with a clean cloth for a shiny finish. Mix tallow with beeswax to create a natural wood polish. Apply it to wooden furniture or cutting boards to restore shine and prevent cracks.

Lubricant for tools and machinery: Before modern industrial lubricants, beef tallow was widely used to reduce friction and protect metal surfaces. Use tallow for:
- lubricate door hinges and locks
- Protect tools from rust and wear and tear
- Greasing metal parts in low-speed machinery

Pet care: Beef tallow is safe for pets and can be used for:
Soften paws: apply a small amount to your dog's paw pads to prevent cracking, especially in winter.
Addition to diet: mix tallow into your pet's food for healthy fat intake (consult your veterinarian first).

DIY fire starter: Tallow is an excellent fire starter because of its prolonged burning. To make one: soak cotton balls or small pieces of cloth in melted tallow. Let them cool and harden. Use them as lightweight, portable firelighters for camping or emergencies.

Natural shoe polish: Beef tallow can breathe life back into dull leather shoes. Rub a small amount on leather, let it penetrate and polish for a shiny finish.

Tallow is an animal fat traditionally obtained by rendering the fatty parts of horses, sheep, and especially bovine, so much so that it is often referred to as “beef tallow.”

It can be made from any type of fat, whether subcutaneous or visceral, but is usually produced from internal deposits such as the fat surrounding the heart and kidneys of bovine. The process involves heat treatment, filtration, and straining of various fat trimmings. The pieces are cut into small chunks and gently heated until they melt, which also allows the small amount of water present to evaporate. The liquid fat is then filtered to remove any remaining meaty or fibrous fragments, which are often pressed to extract even more fat. The quality of tallow depends on the type of animal, the part of the body from which the fat comes, and the rendering method used.

You can also make it at home: just ask your butcher for beef fat (he usually gives it away). Once rendered, you’ll be left with crispy bits and they are absolutely delicious!

  1. Federica Bracaglia

    The fat is very good and lasts a very long time. I don't use it very often, but it lasts a long time in the fridge, and I only use it when I'm cooking red meat. Super satisfied!

  2. Ilaria Politi

    I had bought this product only because it specified that it could be used for both body and face, which is certainly true, but as far as I am concerned the smell is really incompatible with this use.
    The company could try to make a specific product, perhaps odorless, I would be the first to try it.

  3. Elena Ch

    I have been waiting for it for a long time.
    I use it to cook meat but also to fry vegetables.
    Finally.
    I like the flavor, not finding it particularly strong.
    Excellent alternative to Ghi (which I use instead for cooking eggs, bulletproof coffee or desserts in general ).
