100% Pure Rendered NON GMO Beef Tallow-Food Grade- 7LBS

My story is unlike most, I am sure. I was once a service technician who repaired various types of ‘filling machines’. These machines filled powders and liquids. One such liquid was ‘cooking oil’ and I had the misfortune of having to go to a company in northern New Jersey in the mid 1980s where ‘cooking oil’ was being filled in 5 gallon rectangular cans. The plant where I was working was dirty, dimly lit and was heated by a pot-belly stove in the middle of the building. Obviously, the government agencies who were supposed to oversee such operations had never visited this place. (I am intentionally not naming names as that is not the purpose of my story). The machine that was filling this cooking oil was covered with a residue from the ‘cooking oil’. Valves that were supposed to close and open freely could not because of the build-up of this same residue. I literally had to scrape the moving surfaces of the valves with a utility knife in order to return them to operating condition. This is an unforgettable, true story. I wondered why we were using ‘cooking oil’ that left such an impenetrable scum on the machine. If the oil did that to a machine, what was it doing to our bodies? I believed what I was told about ‘cooking oils’ years ago. I wanted the most healthy cooking oil I could get. I love fried foods, having been brought up on them. I selected a cooking oil after trying several different types in my ‘consumer-grade’ counter-top deep fryer. Being someone who likes to take care of my appliances, I took note that no matter what type of ‘cooking oil’ I used, there was always a build-up of residue on my fryer that took a lot of scrubbing to clean. Eventually I found that lye-based cleaners like “Easy off” were the only cleaners that even came close to dissolving the residue. I rarely, if ever use cooking oil any more because I had a friend who suggested that I try Beef tallow. I have been using it in a newly purchased T-Fal deep fryer. Everything I fry with Beef tallow, either in the deep fryer or in a frying pan is consistently delicious. And it leaves no funky residue. I am placing another order today. I think everyone should try it.

I love this! I bought it to make tallow skin cream. I mixed up a batch and it's very nice. I like using it on it's own just as a body cream as it has a smooth and luxurious feel.

Final update, I'm still not happy about the price change, but the seller did work with me to make things right since I did receive the wrong product. And since the product is such high-quality as well, I will return a star. I do appreciate their customer service even though it was a frustrating experience. Update, I am taking away a star. I have purchased a bucket of this tallow multiple times and make beautiful skin care products with it. I'm going to include a picture because I've always bought the same bucket at the same price for about $50. I used to be able to get a 7 pound bucket of 100% grass fed beef tallow. Now, Sulu has made the $50 bucket just 100% non-GMO pasteurized pure beef tallow. You now have to pay about $75 for the same size bucket to get 100% pure grass fed beef tallow. When my bucket arrived, I had to double check because this is so ridiculous. Look at the picture and see the two buckets side-by-side because these were only purchased within a couple of months of one another. I'm on my second bucket and I absolutely love this beef tallow. I have been cooking with it regularly, but I also make skin care products with it that have been muscle tested and found to be clean high-quality. I do make tallow balm, but I even use this like a gloss. It is so high in vitamins that anytime I've started to get a cold sore, I start putting tallow on my lips and it nourishes my lips to the point that a cold sore never breaks through the skin. Both buckets that I have received have been firm and clean looking. No chemical smells or Crisco like consistency as a few have reported.

Near one year update -Currently working through the last of this product, in use and stored as described in the original review below and the performance and freshness remain solid. I ordered another 7lb during the sale last Black Friday and have yet to open it. The labeling on that product is slightly different but it still was quickly shipped and arrived in good condition. Continue to recommend. Original review below - Purchased this product in February 2025. Product has a date code within the range but not included in the recall recently publicized. Product has been stored at room temperature, generally 55-65 degrees, in its sealed container, 7lb size. I note on the container that refrigeration is recommended. I don't have large refer space and live on subsistence/survival foods so store it like we used to store lard and bacon fat. I use it for deep frying, adding to cooked dishes and frying tortillas. So far, zero complaints. Drippings are saved in an old aluminum drippings container prior used to store bacon fat drippings, then re-used. I've currently used about 15% of the container. A little goes a long way; far more efficient than oils. I recommend this product. It has returned sanity to frying foods. No more oily residues and items are crisp and retain their crispiness after serving. Beef flavor is very mild. I actually wish it were more pronounced.

This is NOT food grade tallow, if it's even tallow at all. When I first found this product, I noticed that they didn't have very many reviews, but in their listing they mention that they have more reviews on other websites like Etsy and their own website. When you look at their other products, they sell a lot of skincare products such as Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, etc. so they're definitely more focused on skincare products, and NOT food. When I received this, I opened the plastic container and was immediately hit with a strong chemical and plastic smell. After experiencing this myself, I noticed others had left a review about the strong smell of plastic also. This container does not have Nutrition Facts listed anywhere on it at all, which should legally be listed, if it is considered a food product. There is a typo on their label and it says "Grass Feed" instead of Grass Fed (which may only be a small typo but still worth wondering how it went overlooked, since the way things are worded on a food label is very important). I have bought tallow from other places many times and this does not seem like actual tallow. It is completely flavorless and it smells like plastic and chemicals. I put a small dot of it on my tongue before using it for cooking. It tasted like chemicals and my tongue was tingling for over an hour. When I took my food out of the oven from a medium heat, this "tallow" was charred and burnt, and turned into a completely black ash. REAL TALLOW DOES NOT DO THAT. I do not believe that this product is real tallow. If it is tallow at all, it is sold by a company that sells ONLY skincare products, it is bleached and chemically deodorized, does not list ingredients or nutrition facts and should NOT be labelled or marketed as a food grade product. DO NOT EAT THIS!!! Not as described.

why did I not ever know about Tallow? This is the best product ever! I love it. Foods taste so much better and no more oily mess. It may be expensive but it lasts a long time and then again oils are getting expensive too but now that I ust tallow I use very little olive oils, just for salads and such. btw. My cast iron pans never looked so good plus I can cook eggs in them now and eggs don't stick to the pan. j/s

I always buy this!! Great tallow! I use for skin and cooking!

This tallow is affable and the smell is very mild. I wanted it for soap and moisturizer so I added essential oils to take that meat smell out. The worst part was the bucket it came in. I could not open the lid it was on so tightly. My husband had to open it for me. After removing the protective tab, the lid became jagged and painful to open with bare hands.
