Q: What makes this tallow deodorised?
A: The rendered tallow goes through five gentle washes with clean water. Between washes, the water and water-soluble residues are separated from the fat. It then receives a sixth, gentle dry render to remove remaining moisture and further refine the tallow.

Q: Is deodorised tallow completely odourless?
A: No. It is still natural beef tallow, but the repeated washing process significantly reduces the stronger beef aroma associated with traditionally rendered tallow.

Q: Why is deodorised tallow more expensive than standard tallow?
A: It takes considerably more time, water and handling to produce. The repeated washing, separation and final dry-rendering stages also result in greater product loss during processing.

Q: Does deodorising mean fragrance has been added?
A: No added fragrance is used to create the more neutral aroma. The change comes from the repeated water-washing, separation and careful re-rendering process.

Q: What does water washing actually remove?
A: The washing process helps separate water-soluble impurities, proteins and other residues that can contribute to tallow's stronger natural aroma and flavour.

Q: Why choose deodorised tallow instead of traditionally rendered tallow?
A: Choose it when you want the versatility and characteristic properties of beef tallow with a cleaner, milder aroma and flavour that is less noticeable in the finished application.
