The original high-heat cooking fat, rendered fresh from Texas beef. Our Beef Tallow (16 oz) is a pure, traditional cooking fat with a smoke point around 400°F, suitable for deep frying, searing, roasting, baking, and sautéing. Before vegetable seed oils became the industrial standard in the 20th century, beef tallow was the primary cooking fat in American kitchens. It's making a return as home cooks seek out stable, flavorful fats that don't oxidize under heat.
Tallow is approximately 50% saturated fat and 40% monounsaturated fat, a profile that makes it highly stable at high temperatures, unlike polyunsaturated seed oils (canola, vegetable, soybean) that oxidize and produce harmful compounds when heated above their smoke points. It adds a rich, savory depth to everything from fried potatoes to roasted vegetables to pie crusts. Rendered in Springtown, Texas, from high-quality beef with no additives or preservatives.
Why Beef Tallow for Cooking
Polyunsaturated seed oils oxidize readily under heat, producing aldehydes and other degradation compounds. Tallow's high saturated and monounsaturated fat content makes it chemically stable at high temperatures. It doesn't break down or smoke at the temperatures needed for proper searing and frying.
Common Uses
Deep frying: french fries, chicken, donuts
High-heat searing: steaks, burgers, cast iron cooking
Roasting: vegetables, potatoes, meats
Baking: pie crusts, biscuits, cornbread
Seasoning cast iron skillets
Common Questions
How long does it last?
Properly stored beef tallow lasts 1 year at room temperature, 2+ years refrigerated, and indefinitely frozen. Keep in a sealed container away from light and heat.
Does it have a strong beef smell?
Well-rendered tallow has a mild, neutral smell, not a pronounced beef odor. It may have a faint savory note but won't overwhelm whatever you're cooking.
Can I use it as a butter substitute?
Yes. Tallow can replace butter or oil in most recipes at a 1:1 ratio. It adds rich flavor and performs especially well in high-heat applications where butter would burn.

The Texas Tallow Products Difference
- From our own cattle: every product starts with tallow rendered from cattle we raised or processed ourselves. We don't buy tallow; we make it.
- A ranch, not just a brand: we're the tallow division of Parker County Beef Company, a fifth-generation family ranch raising cattle on Texas soil for over 100 years.
- Rendered and made in-house: slow-rendered and handcrafted in small batches at our USDA-inspected facility in Springtown, Texas.
- Clean and simple: short, honest ingredient lists built around beef tallow. No petroleum derivatives, nothing you can't pronounce.
- Trusted by 2,500+ customers: found first through our ranch's beef customers, kept because it works.

I wasn't sure about putting beef fat on me but it makes my skin so soft. I use it as a nightly moisturizer.
I'm enjoying using this product, in fact, I recently had the best, crispiest grilled cheese sandwich I've ever made.
TX Size support after purchase!
I sent an email and got no reply back so have not been able to use the product for the purpose of my purchase. Call me ignorant but I honestly don’t know if I can use my purchase as a facial product or if it is strictly for cooking.

Love it!
Opened this upon its arrival, excited to cook once again with beef tallow, and it smelled very bad.
I contacted the company and they said that the smell was natural because of how unprocessed it was.
But I'm telling you, I would not cook with this and feed it to anyone I loved.
I don't know if I got a bad batch or what, but I also bought the lavender magnesium tallow lotion, and it smelled rancid as well. I will not be buying it again.
I love them all! They go on smooth and the vanilla smells so good . Thank you for making them !
Excellent product. Will buy again
I will be buying again!!
Love it....
