Cook With Tallow.
Ditch the Seed Oils.
Your great-grandmother cooked with animal fat. It wasn't a trend — it was common sense. Then seed oils came along and everything changed. Here's why we're going back to what worked.
The Higher the Heat,
the Better the Sear.
When cooking oils exceed their smoke point they break down — releasing harmful compounds, free radicals, and that acrid burnt smell that ruins the flavor of your food. Tallow's 480°F smoke point means it can handle any cooking method you throw at it.
Searing a steak, frying potatoes, roasting vegetables, deep frying — tallow handles it all without breaking down. Seed oils start degrading at temperatures you hit every day on your stovetop.
And when tallow does hit high heat, it doesn't release toxic aldehydes the way seed oils do. It just gets hotter and keeps cooking.
Tallow vs.
Seed Oils
The cooking oil industry doesn't want you asking these questions. We do.

Seed Oils Are a
Modern Experiment.
Before the 1900s, seed oils didn't exist in the human diet. People cooked with lard, tallow, butter, and coconut oil — the same fats humans evolved alongside for thousands of years.
Seed oils were created as a cheap industrial byproduct, heavily processed with chemical solvents to extract oil from seeds that don't naturally produce it in meaningful quantities. The science never supported the claim that they were healthier.
Tallow from grass-fed cattle is a whole food fat — rendered from one ingredient, shelf stable, nutrient-dense, and the same fat your ancestors cooked every meal with.
6 Reasons to Make
the Switch Today
Sear steaks, fry potatoes, roast vegetables — tallow handles extreme heat without breaking down or releasing harmful compounds. Built for the kind of cooking that actually tastes good.
Grass-fed tallow is loaded with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2 — vitamins your body can only absorb in the presence of fat. Every meal cooked in tallow delivers nutrition seed oils never could.
Tallow contains a near-ideal ratio of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats — closely matching human cell membranes. Seed oils are dangerously overloaded in omega-6.
There's a reason restaurant chefs have always cooked with animal fat. Tallow adds a rich, savory depth to steaks, burgers, potatoes, and roasted vegetables that no seed oil can replicate.
Unlike seed oils that go rancid quickly and degrade before you even open the bottle, tallow is naturally shelf stable at room temperature. No refrigeration. No hidden rancidity you can't smell.
Our cooking tallow is exactly one thing — rendered grass-fed beef fat. No additives, no preservatives, no chemical extraction. Just pure fat the way it's existed for thousands of years.
Tallow Works for Everything.
The classic. Tallow's high smoke point makes it perfect for achieving a restaurant-quality sear. Add a tablespoon to a screaming hot cast iron and watch the crust form.
McDonald's used tallow until 1990 — and people still say the fries were never the same. Toss potatoes in melted tallow before roasting or frying for the crispiest result you've ever made at home.
Carrots, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, squash — tallow coats vegetables evenly and handles oven temperatures that would smoke out seed oils. The caramelization is next level.
Tallow gives eggs a rich, savory flavor and a crispy edge without burning. Your grandma used lard. You can use tallow. Same idea, same result — and a better start to your morning.
Tallow is one of the best fats for seasoning cast iron. Its fatty acid profile polymerizes beautifully into a natural non-stick surface that only gets better over time.
Melt tallow and use it to baste meats during the last few minutes of cooking. It adds a glossy, rich finish that butter can approximate but never quite match.

Questions we hear most often about tallow.
Yes — and the science backs it up. Grass-fed beef tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and has a near-ideal balance of saturated and monounsaturated fats. It's the fat humans cooked with for thousands of years before seed oils were invented in the 1900s. The idea that saturated animal fat is unhealthy came from heavily flawed mid-20th century research that has since been widely challenged.
No — and this surprises most people. Cooking tallow has a very mild, neutral flavor that won't overpower your food. What it does add is a rich, savory depth that makes everything taste better. Think of it less like "beef flavor" and more like the difference between cooking with good butter versus cheap margarine. The flavor improvement is real but subtle.
Tallow is naturally shelf stable — you can store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months. No refrigeration required. Unlike seed oils that go rancid quickly and often smell off before you even notice, tallow stays fresh and stable. Once opened, just keep the lid on and store it away from direct heat or sunlight.
Both are animal fats and both are far better choices than seed oils. The main difference is smoke point — butter burns around 300°F while tallow holds stable up to 480°F, making tallow the better choice for searing, frying, and any high-heat cooking. Butter is great for finishing and lower-heat cooking. Tallow is your workhorse fat for everything that needs real heat.
Our cooking tallow is rendered from grass-fed beef fat sourced from Heartland-raised cattle. It's processed in small batches and contains exactly one ingredient — pure rendered beef fat. No additives, no preservatives, no chemical solvents. The same commitment to clean, traceable sourcing we put into everything with our name on it.
