Fatworks Premium 100% Grass Fed, Pasture Raised Beef Tallow, Artisanally Rendered, WHOLE30 Approved, KETO, PALEO, 14 oz.

This might sound kind of weird, but I actually purchased this to use on my face as a moisturizer. I read not too long ago that beef tallow is an excellent moisturizer and, because it has properties that resemble your own skin's sebum, that it can repair and protect your skin as well. That being said, keep in mind that my review will be based on the purpose for which i bought this product (although I've also started eating it! :)I was a little reluctant to buy this because some of the reviews said that it had a very strong pungent odor. I did not find this to be the case. It definitely has a faint scent, but its no unpleasant or overpowering. It actually reminded me a little bit like shea butter, which some people also find unpleasant. It moisturizes beautifully! I'm not sure that it is any better than other fats and oils i've used before, namely coconut, argan and rosehip oil as well as shea butter. So i can't speak as to whether or not it will improve my skin, but I like it so far. I also find the taste to be much milder than I would have expected based on some of the reviews. I tasted it the first day I got it, and I've been putting some in my bone broth as well. I can't say that I taste a difference. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, since this is my first experience with tallow, however, for my purposes that works just fine!Finally, it arrived well packaged and in a timely fashion! I also find the cost to be very reasonable considering that this comes from grass fed animals and it is a rather large container. I ultimately decided to go with this one because skin care products made from tallow were much more expensive for a lot less. This has met all my expectations, now lets see if my skin improves! :)

I like it, good for cooking

This is a great product we use it for cooking and my wife uses it with Manuka honey for a face cream. The quality the product is exemplary. Highly recommend the product

This is great tallow, but it doesn't seem like the $10 increase in price is warranted. It was $13 back in 2021. Disappointing.

I had not heard of tallow until i listed to Dr Berg. He recommended this over face creams and I agree 100 percent. Softens skin without all of the chemicals in face creams and it does it naturally. Listen to Dr Berg for all kinds of information on the how to keep your youthful glow from the inside of your body as well as the outside.

I bought this tallow in order to make a tallow balm for my toddler's eczema. My jar of tallow arrived very well packaged with bubble wrap secured tightly around the jar and plastic air pockets to fill the rest of the box. None of the tallow had leaked out, and the bottle was perfectly clean. The odor was mild but not offensive. I melted one cup of the tallow in a pan over the stove (did not boil), added 1/2 T. of extra virgin olive oil, and 5 drops of Plant Therapy's Silky Soft essential oil. I put this mixture into little jars to harden. Tallow does not "melt" into the skin as quickly as other solid oils at room temperature like coconut oil. However, it will eventually rub/melt into the skin after it is spread around enough. From blogs that I had read about tallow helping with eczema and saying how tallow is like a magical salve, I have not found that to be the case. My toddler still has his eczema, but if I apply this several times throughout the day, it is not as red like it would have been had I not used anything at all. I also used some of this tallow balm that I made on my face (I added a few more drops of essential oil). My face tends to break out if I put certain types of lotion or product on my face. I have not had any breakouts putting this tallow on my face! It seems thick and greasy when I put it on, but it never causes any issues with my face being any oilier or making the hair by my face oily. Awesome!

This stuff is IT. I was reading a blog in which the writer described how using a fat that is FIRM at room temperature completely transformed her pie crust like 500% better. The point she was making is cutting the fat into the flour and other ingredients with firm fat that doesn't start melting/softening at room temperature and keeps its integrity when the crust is rolled out is the magic - each little solid piece of fat that keeps its pocket intact as it's rolled out is likewise an area of the dough that becomes a separated flaky layer - so there is all kinds of extra flaky texture through the final baked crust. So - her blog said she found this in buffalo tallow, but I ordered both fatworks brand beef tallow and their buffalo tallow and strangely enough, the BEEF tallow was the one that stays super hard at room temperature, which according to the blogger is a sign of great quality and healthy natural diet of the animals. So why the fatworks buffalo/bison tallow is softer who knows. The blogger got hers from some local bison ranch I think. But I did do a taste test of my own, making pie crust and tartlets with fatworks beef tallow, buffalo tallow, and pork lard (I forget which brand) and the beef tallow won the taste test hands down. A great savory hint of animal origin in the aroma of the crust, which gives a fantastic old fashioned depth and well rounded flavor to a sweet filling pie - something most people have not ever tasted (or older generations not in many many decades) since the fat police outlawed good old fashioned animal fat.
