Beef Tallow (A-Grade) – 5kg
- 100% Pure Tallow
- From Grass-fed Cows
- Suitable for Cooking
IMPORTANT: Tallow is known to have a strong odour.
To assist in getting rid of the odour from beef tallow, use the following methods:
- Rendering Properly: Ensure you render the tallow correctly. Slow cooking at low temperatures helps to reduce the odour. Strain the liquid fat through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer to remove any impurities, which can contribute to unwanted smells. It is recommended that you cook it for 2 x 2 hours further cooking to remove the odour.
- Add Aromatics: While rendering, you can add aromatics such as garlic, onion, or herbs (like rosemary or thyme) to infuse the tallow with more pleasant scents. Remove these before storing.
- Use Vinegar: After rendering, you can mix a small amount of vinegar with the tallow and let it sit for a few hours before straining it again. The vinegar can help neutralize odours.
- Baking Soda: Incorporate baking soda into the tallow when it’s still warm. Let it sit for a few hours before straining. Baking soda is effective at absorbing odours.
- Store Properly: Make sure to store tallow in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Exposure to air and light can intensify odours over time.
- Refrigeration: Keeping the tallow in the refrigerator can help minimize the odour and extend its shelf life.
By following these steps, you should be able to reduce or eliminate the odour from beef tallow effectively.
***********************************************************************************
Sustainably sourced and carefully rendered, this tallow retains its nutrients and stable structure, making it ideal for pan-frying, deep-frying, and roasting. In fact, many chefs and homesteaders prefer tallow over vegetable oils because it doesn’t break down at high heat and gives food a clean, meaty richness.
