Stellar - Beef Tallow - 100% Grass-Fed & Finished - Good for Cooking, Baking and Frying - Food Grade - 10 LBS

April 29, 2025I 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!

Beautiful white pure color, I cook with this and use it on my skin! The taste is luscious is the only word I can come up with. I use a tiny amount on my dog's food and she goes nuts over it. I took a little finger full of it once, when I first got it, delicious.I will be back for more when my 2 lb runs out.

After researching the benefits of grass fed grass finished beef tallow I decided to go for it. I can't say enough good things about this brand! It's absolutely wonderful to cook with for meat, vegetables, even eggs. Sometimes I melt some to pour over my dog's food. Just buy it! I'll definitely be reordering.

I’m SO happy with my purchase of this tallow! I’ve been using tallow for close to 6 years and prefer to buy from local farmers. However I don’t have access and needed some quick, and the quality of this product is the best I’ve found online. Will be back!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Looking for healthier options. Fry’s awesome, doesn’t take long for temperature to come back up for second batch and food is not as greasy. The clean up is easier also!!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very nice tallow. Had a slight odor when heated but that makes me think it’s the real deal since home rendered tallow always has an odor. I made lotion and body scrubs and they turned out very nice.

Has a really good taste,but it's a little too expensive.Purchases this because the beef that made this product was grass fed.

I took a chance on buying beef tallow online. I am so happy I did. It arrived in a sealed bucket. It looks very clean and has a good color. There is a mild beef smell. Tallow is a healthier way to cook. I am avoiding all seed oils. I transferred the tallow to a glass jar that fits in my cabinet. It's easy to measure out the amount you want. The tallow is creamy with a slight firmness. I appreciate that this tallow is 100% beef and organic. I will be ordering again in the future.
