Is it healthy to cook with beef tallow?Updated 22 days ago

Yes, it can be a great choice. Fat has often been misunderstood and treated as something to avoid, but a lot of that comes down to misinformation. Fats are a good, natural part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Beef tallow is a natural fat, quality sourced from grass-fed British cattle. It's very stable when cooking at high heat, which makes it a reliable choice for frying, roasting and baking.

It naturally contains vitamins like A, D, E and K, along with other nutrients you'd expect to find in a natural animal fat.

Cooking with tallow can be a better choice than reaching for ultra-processed fats or seed oils, especially at high heat, and it adds a delicious, savoury flavour to your food.
