Why our Tallow is the best

         

Beef Tallow is an amazing versatile animal fat. More specifically it is the fat from around the organs on the cow-the kidney fat. It's called beef fat initially until it goes through the rendering process. Think about when your cooking bacon when all the grease and everything cools it's a solid and white. Thats what you do with beef fat to render it. After rendered it's called tallow. There are many other types of fat, such as Lard, Mutton and duck fat. We prefer tallow because it's the most readily available and it is very shelf stable. A desirable tallow is one from a fully grass fed, and grass finished cow.
                 
                     

 

Beef tallow boasts a rich history of versatile applications, spanning culinary, household, and personal care purposes. It is a valuable source of some Vitamins, Choline, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, it contains tiny trace amounts of Vitamins A, D, E, and K, contributing to its nutritional profile. Comprising both monounsaturated and saturated fats, its utility extends across a wide spectrum.

                        

TALLOW USES

Tallow offers remarkable advantages for skincare, characterized by its exceptional gentleness, making it suitable for many skin types. Its moisturizing properties surpass those of many plant-based alternatives. Another important aspect we love about Beef Tallow is that it often times gets thrown out or wasted during the processing of the meat. Its can be referred to as a waste product because in our society today its not wanted. We love that by using it in skincare we can use something that would otherwise be wasted contributing to sustainability efforts.

The quality of tallow is intricately linked to the dietary habits of the cow. Cattle raised on grain-based diets are different compared to grass fed and finished cows, as the fat tissues often store toxins and the fatty acid profile will vary. This underscores the significance of prioritizing grass-fed sources for skincare. Grass-fed tallow is notably richer in Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) and carotene, imparting a distinctive rich yellow hue to it.

The advantages of beef tallow are extensive and multifaceted, making it a valuable resource in various domains.

Is Purifying Tallow Necessary? – Grassland Beauty).



 

Thats our process! We do not disclose the Ranch where we source our tallow. This is to protect our rancher from harassment. We only source our beef fat from one cattle ranch here in Arizona. The cows are raised on over 400 acres and eating native grasses throughout the year. They are raised ethically and sustainably.
