Honoring Tradition, One Batch at a Time

Well hey there, it's May 💋

I'm just so grateful you're here. What you're looking at is something our grandmothers knew by heart—pure, honest beef tallow rendered the way it's been done for centuries, with care and respect for the old ways.

A Humble Beginning in Our Restaurant Kitchen

Seven years ago, when we were running our little family restaurant, we made a simple choice: we'd cook with real fats, the traditional way. No shortcuts, no modern oils—just the same grass-fed tallow that kitchens had relied on for generations.

Folks would ask, "What makes your food taste so good?" And the truth was simple: we were cooking the way our great-grandmothers did.

Then one day, it occurred to me—if this tallow was good enough for our family's food, maybe it was good enough for our skin too. So I started whipping it up in our kitchen, just experimenting really, and sharing it with friends.

Back then, nobody else was whipping tallow like this. We didn't set out to be first or special—we were just trying to make something pure and honest, the way things used to be made.

Centuries of Wisdom, Seven Years of Learning

Tallow isn't new—it's ancient wisdom. For hundreds of years, folks used it for everything: cooking, candle making, soap, skincare, leather care. It was the foundation of the household, passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation.

We're just blessed to be part of keeping that tradition alive.

Over these past seven years, we've been honored to serve over 250,000 customers who've trusted us with their kitchens and their skincare. We've received over 25,000 five-star reviews from folks who appreciate the old ways as much as we do.

But we're still learning, still listening, still trying to honor the wisdom of those who came before us.

What Our Customers Have Taught Us

Every review humbles us and reminds us why we do this:

"First time purchase with Lady May. I ordered the 16 lb bucket for cooking and skin care. OMG! Their tallow is such a soft, creamy white with no beef smell at all. Exactly what I was looking for at a great price. Did I mention the ultra fast shipping??? Wow. Forever customer here!!!!" – Amanda

"Lovely tallow, pure white, very soft, no scent. So far I've made whipped tallow balm and cooked with it as well, very pleased!" – Leanne

"I can't say enough about this product!! High quality tallow, shipping is extremely fast, and customer service was responsive and helpful!" – Mr. and Mrs. Kneeland

"Best Tallow, creamy, lightweight. No smell." – Susan

A Note About Quality

We render our tallow the way it's always been done—slowly, carefully, with attention to every detail. We source from grass-fed cattle because that's what makes the best tallow. We triple-filter because purity matters. We keep it unscented because that's how you know it's done right.

It's not fancy or complicated. It's just the traditional way, done with care.

    Tallow FAQs

    What is tallow?

    Tallow has been used for centuries in skincare. With bioavailable vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, and various fatty acids, tallow helps soften, moisturize, and revitalize the skin.

    Do your products have a "beefy" scent?

    We get this question all the time and while it is very valid, the answer is no!

    We use a wet-rendering process for all of our tallow products. This completely purifies the tallow, leaving it odorless, while maintaining the key nutrients and benefits for your skin!

    How much tallow should I use?

    A little goes a long way with our tallow products. Start by using the size of a penny and see if you need more! Tallow will soak into your skin and leave your skin barrier deeply moisturized.

    How should I store my tallow products?

    Store your moisturizer away from light and drastic temperature changes.

    To maintain its original texture, store your moisturizer in a typical temperature-controlled environment (68-74 degrees). Extreme temperatures can cause the tallow to harden in cold conditions or melt in warm conditions. If this occurs, there's no need to worry; the moisturizer is still usable, but know the texture may change.

    Can I use tallow if I have oily skin?

    Yes! When the skin is excessively cleansed and stripped of its natural oils, it tends to overproduce oil. Using a high-quality moisturizer, like whipped tallow, can help maintain skin's moisture balance and prevent excess oil production.

    Can I use tallow if I have acne-prone skin?

    Yes! The antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing qualities of tallow can greatly benefit acne-prone skin.

    What are the uses for tallow skincare?

    There are many uses for your tallow skincare products.

    Our products can be used for moisturizing the skin (face & body), diaper rashes, and eczema/other skin irritations.

    Is this product organic?

    Our tallow boasts a clean label with no artificial ingredients. However, it is not certified organic.

    What part of the cow does the fat come from? Is it suet?

    The fat we use primarily comes from the kidney area and loins of the cow. This specific type of fat is known as suet, prized for its purity and quality. Our "nose-to-tail sustainable farms" ensure that no fat goes to waste, utilizing all parts of the animal for their unique benefits for a premium blend of beef tallow.

    Are the farms sustainable?

    Yes, the farms we partner with focus on ethical practices that respect both the land and the animals. Every batch of our tallow carries the promise of sustainability and a nod to generations past.

    Does this product need to be refrigerated?

    No, the product is shelf-stable at room temperature. However, you can refrigerate or freeze it if you wish to extend the shelf life. Refrigeration will make the product harder, but many bakers prefer this consistency for creating flakier crusts.
