Up to 50% of a beef animal is fat that's discarded during processing. Instead of letting it go to waste, we keep it and render it into tallow which is used as the base of all our products. Less waste equals more respect, as far as we're concerned; and the products made with tallow are rich, high-quality, and more natural. We love them, and hope you will too! You may be surprised how well these work compared to store-bought products with questionable ingredients. We wouldn't sell it if it didn't work.
