Making your own tallow is an easy and rewarding way to create a nutrient-dense, versatile cooking fat that supports primal and ancestral eating. Tallow is rich in healthy saturated fats and fat-soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, and K), making it an excellent choice for high-heat cooking, skincare, and even homemade candles or soaps.

Ingredient Benefits

Raw Beef Fat (Suet or Trimmings) – A primal-friendly source of healthy, heat-stable fats that promote cellular health, brain function, and hormone balance. When sourced from grass-fed beef, tallow is even higher in omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have anti-inflammatory properties.

Ways to Use Homemade Tallow

  • Cooking & Frying – A stable, high-smoke-point fat perfect for searing meats, roasting vegetables, or making crispy carnivore-friendly dishes.

  • Baking – Use as a butter alternative in primal baking recipes.

  • Skincare – An excellent natural moisturizer rich in skin-nourishing nutrients.

  • Soap & Candles – A traditional ingredient for making long-lasting, non-toxic soaps and candles.
