For centuries, tallow has proven itself as a versatile, natural, and renewable resource. Its applications span from culinary uses in cooking and baking to personal care in skincare and soap making, showcasing its boundless potential.

To us, the choice between industrial manufactured seed oils, forever chemicals, and mystery ingredients -or- natural, pure beef tallow is an easy one! Tallow is clearly the superior choice for your health, and the health of your family.

Why Tallow?

Not All Tallow is Created Equal…

At Western Montana Tallow Co. we source local grass-fed and finished beef and we render only the hard inner fat that surrounds the kidneys (suet). This fat contains the highest nutritional value, and results in a cleaner, higher quality tallow than products rendered fat trimmings.

Grass-fed and finished tallow is superior to it’s grain-fed cousin!
All of our suet comes from 100% grass-raised and finished beef — sourced locally from the Missoula valley and surrounding ranches in Western Montana.

Grass-fed tallow is nutritionally superior:

  • Higher in omega-3s and CLA, promoting anti-inflammatory benefits.

  • Richer in Vitamins: Contains more vitamins A, D, E, and K.

  • Antioxidant Properties: More antioxidants extend shelf life and provide added health benefits.

In the Kitchen

In the kitchen, tallow stands out as an excellent source of healthy saturated fat, renowned for its stability at high cooking temperatures. This makes it perfect for frying and roasting, as it minimizes the creation of harmful compounds such as free radicals, which can form when less stable oils are heated.

Tallow brings a unique richness to baking, infusing pastries, biscuits, and breads with a savory depth that enhances flavor while ensuring a tender, flaky texture. Its high melting point contributes to even baking, creating perfect flakiness in doughs and helping to retain moisture for longer-lasting freshness.

And Beyond…

Beyond its culinary uses, tallow is an exceptional natural skincare product. Its composition mirrors the skin's own sebum, providing excellent hydration and anti-inflammatory properties, which accelerate healing. This makes tallow particularly advantageous for individuals with dry or sensitive skin.

Our tallow products offer a gentle, nourishing moisturizer that modern products struggle to replicate.

By choosing our tallow, you're choosing a healthy, natural, and sustainable product, and at the same time, supporting local regenerative ranching which benefits both the environment and our community!

Thank you, and enjoy!!
