Frequently Asked Questions

1.  What does Pure Pasture Cooking Tallow taste like?
It has a mild, savory beefy flavor that adds a rich depth to your dishes without overpowering them. Many compare it to a light, beefy butter—perfect for enhancing meats, veggies, or even baked goods like pie crusts.

2.  Is this tallow grass-fed and grass-finished?
Yes! Pure Pasture Cooking Tallow is sourced from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cattle raised on open pastures, ensuring higher nutrient content and better flavor compared to grain-fed alternatives.

3.  What’s the best way to use it in cooking?
It’s incredibly versatile! Use it for high-heat cooking like frying, searing, or roasting—it’s great for crispy fries, pan-seared steaks, or roasted veggies. You can also substitute it 1:1 for butter or shortening in baking recipes, such as flaky biscuits or pie crusts.

4.  Can I use this tallow for skincare?
Absolutely! Its nutrient-rich profile, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, makes it an excellent natural moisturizer. Apply it directly to dry or damaged skin for hydration and nourishment, as many customers do with similar grass-fed tallows.

5.  What’s the shelf life, and how should I store it?
It’s shelf-stable for 12 months at room temperature or 18 months in the fridge or freezer. Store in a cool, dry place, and if it hardens, simply warm it in a water bath to make it spoonable again.

6.  Does it have a strong beefy smell?
No, our low-and-slow rendering process minimizes the beefy aroma, leaving a clean, mild scent. Most users find it pleasant and subtle, fading quickly when used in cooking or skincare.

7.  Is it suitable for keto or paleo diets?
Yes! Pure Pasture Cooking Tallow is keto, paleo, and Whole30-friendly, with zero carbs and a high fat content that supports ketosis and whole-food nutrition.

8.  How much tallow do I need for cooking?
A little goes a long way! For example, 1–2 tablespoons are enough to sear a steak or fry a batch of veggies. A 16 oz jar typically lasts 2–4 months with regular use, according to customer reviews.

9.  Is it environmentally sustainable?
Yes, we source from regenerative family farms that prioritize sustainable, humane practices. Unlike vegetable oils linked to deforestation, grass-fed tallow is a more eco-friendly choice.

10.  What if the tallow separates in the jar?
Separation is natural due to the unique makeup of grass-fed fats. Simply stir or shake before use to recombine—it’s still perfectly good!
