Pure Beef Tallow is a traditional rendered animal fat made from beef fat, not a plant oil, and can be used in both cooking and topical applications. Sourced from grass-fed, free-range, locally raised cattle, it is gently rendered, triple rendered and dry rendered to create a clean, stable fat with a more neutral aroma. In the kitchen, it works well for frying, roasting, sautéing and baking. In body care making, it adds richness to balms, soaps and simple moisturising formulations.
♡ Why we love it: Pure Beef Tallow is a simple, versatile ingredient with a long history of practical use. It brings whole-ingredient appeal to cooking and a rich, conditioning feel to DIY skincare, without added preservatives, stabilisers or fillers.
