Beef tallow is rendered fat from cattle, traditionally prized for its high smoke point, long shelf life, and rich flavor. Once a staple in home kitchens and commercial cooking alike, tallow is making a strong comeback — not just for its performance in the kitchen, but also for its versatility beyond it. When rendered properly, tallow becomes a smooth, shelf-stable fat that’s ideal for cooking, baking, skincare and even candle-making.
How Beef Tallow Is Used
Tallow has long been valued for its superior cooking properties. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for frying potatoes, searing steaks or sautéing vegetables without breaking down or creating an unpleasant taste. It adds richness to baked goods like pie crusts and biscuits and is a favorite among traditional and ancestral diet followers.
Outside the kitchen, beef tallow is increasingly used in skincare. Its composition is similar to the oils naturally produced by human skin, making it a nourishing, hydrating choice for balms, soaps and lotions. Artisans and homesteaders alike appreciate its natural properties and sustainability.
Why Our Tallow Is the Best Choice
The beef tallow from Brick Church Meats & More is rendered from cattle raised just a few miles away at LoKey Ranch, a family-run operation with hundreds of mama cows across Giles and Marshall Counties. This means our tallow is as farm-to-table as it gets — rendered fresh, in-house, and never shipped across the country before it reaches you.
