WHAT IS TALLOW?
Tallow has a rich history that traces back to the Bronze Age, mainly in regions where cattle farming was prevalent. In ancient Roman and Europeans cultures tallow was essential for cooking and preserving food. Today, beef tallow is celebrated not just for its culinary uses but also for its role in sustainable cooking practices, appealing to those interested in nose-to-tail eating and reducing food waste.
Beef Tallow is a natural, rendered fat from cattle. It is produced by heating the fat until it melts and then straining out any solid impurities, resulting in a smooth, golden, butter-like fat that is solid at room temperature. Tallow is primarily made up of saturated and monounsaturated fats, making it stable for cooking at high temperatures. It also contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Known for its rich flavour profile and high smoke point, Tallow has been a staple in traditional cooking and food preservation for centuries. This versatile fat is not only prized for its culinary applications but also for its nutritional benefits and sustainable qualities.
