What Is Beef Tallow? Benefits, Uses, and Why It’s Making a Comeback

Beef tallow is making waves again — and for good reason. Once a staple in every American household, this nutrient-rich rendered fat is regaining popularity in kitchens, skincare routines, and even home fragrance. At Parker County Beef Company, we proudly produce premium beef tallow products in Springtown, Texas — from cooking fats to soaps and balms — all made in-house with care.

What Exactly Is Beef Tallow?

Beef tallow is a rendered form of beef fat, primarily from around the kidneys and loins (known as suet). Once purified, it becomes shelf-stable, creamy, and incredibly versatile. Tallow has been used for generations in both culinary and personal care applications.

Why Use Beef Tallow?

  • High Smoke Point: Perfect for frying, roasting, and sautéing without breaking down like vegetable oils.
  • Rich in Nutrients: Packed with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
  • Deep Moisturizing: Bioavailable fats mimic your skin’s natural oils for unbeatable hydration.
  • All-Natural: No fillers, chemicals, or preservatives — just clean, regenerative animal fat.

We craft a variety of tallow-based products at Parker County Beef Company, each made in small batches with local ingredients:
