Our \u003cstrong\u003eBeef Tallow (16 oz)\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 22px 0;\"\u003eTallow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1.5px; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eWhy Beef Tallow for Cooking\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-top: 14px; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003ePolyunsaturated seed oils oxidize readily under heat, producing aldehydes and other degradation compounds.
