Our beef tallow is obtained from the suet fat around the kidneys of grass-fed calves in the ancient Phrygian valley (Western Turkey).
The most common use of tallow is as a cooking oil. This is because it has a high smoke point (220°); This means it can withstand high cooking temperatures without oxidizing and hardening. It's a great oil for frying and sautéing foods at high temperatures. Not only does it add a rich meaty flavor, but it doesn't oxidize or go rancid during the cooking process.
It is also commonly used as a balm, salve or cleanser for the skin. Because grass-fed beef tallow contains a similar ratio of fatty acids to human skin, it is easily absorbed. It is especially healing for cuts and scrapes, as well as rashes and other skin conditions.
Tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, which are found only in animal products and are essential for health. These nutrients contribute to neurological and cardiovascular health, as well as bone and muscle growth and immune function.
The healthiest oil for cooking at high temperatures is tallow. It should be used instead of vegetable and other industrial oils in recipes for a healthy life. You can definitely use tallow to soften dry skin and heal skin infections. You can also try making soaps and candles with this traditional oil!
To store your tallow in the refrigerator, place it in a jar or airtight container. You can store tallow at room temperature for up to 12 months.
