Stellar Beef Tallow 100% Grass-Fed & Finished - Good for Cooking, Baking and Frying - Food Grade (5 lb)

This was the first time buying Tallow so I decided to go with a small container until I see if I like it I love this stuff the smoke point is great it seals perfectly the consistency I love it I use it when I do mostly pan frying sometimes deep frying I'm going to buy the bigger one or bigger container and I'll probably never go back to vegetable oil I love this and the flavor is perfect it's not overpowering it's perfect for frying anything I fried fish in it and it the fish tasted a lot better than with vegetable oil or canola oil very easy to use the consistency is nice and smooth I highly recommend it

Have been using this on a regular basis. it adds a great flavor to my eggs and stir frys. I appreciate the quality and value of this Tallow.

Great beef tallow, it adds a great flavor to your foods.

Because of all the recent info coming out about seed oils, I recently started using this Beef Tallow, and I couldn’t be more impressed. It’s 100% pure, natural, and free from any additives or preservatives—exactly what I look for in a quality cooking fat. The flavor it adds to my dishes is unbeatable. Whether I’m frying potatoes, roasting vegetables, or searing meat, the rich, savory taste brings everything to life. The high smoke point is a huge bonus. It holds up beautifully under high heat, giving me a reliable and stable cooking fat for everything from crispy fries to sautéed peppers. It’s great to have if you use a Blackstone! I’ve even used it in baking, and the results are phenomenal—especially in pie crusts and biscuits. This is hands-down one of the best kitchen staples I’ve added to my pantry. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to elevate their cooking in a healthier way!

April 29, 2025 I am sorry, Steller, I cannot recommend for popcorn. HOWEVER, everyone should try once as tastes vary. I recommend the tallow for anything you fry / pan-sear in . . . It excels when pan-searing a piece of lean meat or chicken in a cast-iron pan! TBH, I absolutely ADORE butter but eat too much of it. Tallow has made a wonderful substitution for cooking and I use much less of it than butter. A good-old-fashioned [turkey] bacon, eggs, and home-fries or hash browns is wonderful cooked in tallow. I must reduce fats in my diet, so this makes it taste so much better even though it is not cooked in butter. March 01, 2025. First Time User but not first time with Tallow or Lard. I will update as needed. First READ. All the 1-star ratings are not on point. It is tallow, not a non-stick chemical, it smells FAINTLY of beef like you just grilled a prime steak. The vendor uses ONE single-size bucket for its tallow. So, if you order the 2-pound or 3-pound, the bucket isn't full. Cost savings for the consumer. See photo of label on top. If you are expecting the Crisco-white - NO. This is not a chemical or hydronated oil. This is tallow, more white but just slightly on the yellow side. See photo. I think of white butter. It is pure. I moved most of the tallow into a jar so I could seal it tightly and keep it in the fridge. Just me. Last photo is a tablespoon of tallow in the pan -- clear as water. Now, taste. I cooked a salmon fillet in it. I could not taste the slight beef in the salmon; I smelled it as it was cooking. The salmon tasted just a bit better than using the olive oil or avocado oil. Please understand that tallow is pure fat, like butter. I found the taste exceptional. I plan to try cooking popcorn in it. Other opinions. My cats love salmon. They got downright RUDE over this salmon cooked in tallow. They and the dogs were having conniption fits over my food. I was beginning to think I would need to defend myself and my salmon physically. Some historical background. In WWII, women were pouring off and storing all rendered fat - pork, beef, and chicken - by pouring off into a can. They would use what they could, and then take the rest to a re-use point "for the troops". They taught this to their daughters in the 50's, and some of us grew up with the same in the 60s and 70s. Crisco came along and so many learned to cook with "shortening". Hydrogenated oils took over. (yuck) Crisco is a brand of shortening, primarily made from vegetable oils. Its main ingredient is soybean oil, which is partially hydrogenated to achieve a solid, creamy consistency at room temperature. Some formulations may also include palm oil or other vegetable oils, depending on the specific product (like the all-vegetable shortening version). The partial hydrogenation process introduces trans fats, though modern Crisco recipes have been reformulated to reduce or eliminate trans fats due to health concerns, replacing them with fully hydrogenated oils or other stabilizers. Additives like mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers), salt (in salted varieties), and sometimes preservatives or flavorings may also be included. The exact composition can vary slightly by product line or country, but it’s fundamentally a processed fat designed for cooking and baking. Check the label of a specific Crisco product for the most precise ingredient list, as formulations evolve!

This organic 100 percent grass fed and finished beef tallow is an excellent product. A fair price for a quality product with health benefits. It is clear, pure and does not have a strong unpleasant smell. I find the smell quite appetizing, in fact. It fries beautifully with a great crust. The taste is somewhat neutral in my opinion, which brings out the flavor of the food without overwhelming it. That’s a good thing! I would have given it five stars and the reason I didn’t is because of other factors unrelated to the quality of the product. The top of the tub was and is extremely difficult to open. I struggled with it for a few minutes. These type of tubs are problematic. When I finally got it opened, the fat was all gathered on one side, which indicated that it had been exposed to warm temperatures that melted it, and then when it solidified, it settled all to one side of the tub, possibly resulting from being tilted or stored on its side. All saturated fat will melt in warmer temperatures, but I wondered at what temperature it was exposed to, for how long, and if that affected the quality of the product inside this plastic tub. It was probably more an issue in transport and shipping than anything having to do with the manufacturing of the product. The other issue was that it left a very thick aftertaste on the tongue and palate, even though I had drained any excess fat off the food. That feeling seemed to linger. It may have been more an issue of the type of food which was battered, than the tallow itself. When frying fresh tortilla chips, it didn’t seem to exhibit the same problem. Therefore, I would be selective of the foods with which to use this product. I had hoped to use it for most of my frying needs, eliminating the need to purchase other healthy oils, like organic Avacado oil because beef tallow has added nutrients. I did ask for a refund from Amazon based on these issues that I’ve mentioned, but would consider giving it another try in the future. With better quality control of shipment and packaging, these issues can be eliminated. I would still highly recommend this product as a much better alternative to seed oils. Be careful when opening that lid.

Taste like it should. Feels great on the skin. Is a cream color. Seal was intact and the consistency is that of real tallow (??idk what to say about that) On the container it notes that the 3 lb container is used for two pound orders so that’s why they’re more empty. Totally Makes sense. I find the posts about the container being partially empty a little funny because the product clearly melted and solidified on one side or they didn’t weigh the product. I weighed mine and it was (in the container) 2lbs 3oz. And the container is a very light weight plastic I wish they would say the origin of the tallow. Local doesn’t say enough, local to where?

As far as I can tell, it's refined well and delivered clean. There's a breakaway tab on the lid, unlike what one of the reviews said. However, my tub came severely deformed like a square block. I don't know what would cause it to deform like this besides heat or being pressed into that shape over a long period of time. Regardless, the tallow is pure white and clean and melts clear like ice in a pan. Smells like beef and anything you cook in it comes out rich in flavor. I keep the tub in my fridge. It's great. Out with the seed oils. I'll be buying more.
