South Chicago Packing Wagyu Beef Tallow, 42 Ounces, Paleo-friendly, Keto-friendly, 100% Pure Wagyu

This stuff is next level. Wagyu beef tallow has completely changed the way I cook — and I’m never going back. It’s rich, silky, and adds a depth of flavor that turns even basic meals into restaurant-worthy dishes.I’ve used it for frying eggs (crispy edges, perfect yolks), roasting vegetables (they come out caramelized and buttery), searing steaks (because obviously), and even in place of butter for mashed potatoes. Yes, that good. Everything gets this savory, umami kick without tasting greasy or heavy.It has a high smoke point, so it’s great for high-heat cooking, and a little goes a long way. Bonus: my kitchen smells like a steakhouse every time I use it. I keep a jar on the counter like it’s sacred. If you’re on the fence, just do it — your taste buds (and cast iron skillet) will thank you

I love this product! The flavor is rich and clean, and it adds great depth when cooking meats, roasting veggies, or even frying eggs. It’s a high-quality beef tallow and feels like a healthier alternative to some processed oils.One thing to note: it seems to have a different smoke point than regular cooking fats, so it heats up quickly. Just keep an eye on the temperature to avoid burning it.Overall, I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a flavorful, traditional fat to cook with.

I'm addicted to this beef tallow now and have just ordered my second container of it. It's got an amazing flavor and the price is very reasonable. It's replaced lard, butter, and olive oil in all of my cooking. My only complaint is one that's been mentioned in the reviews elsewhere - the packaging. When I received it, the container had evidently leaked a little and tallow had coated the outside of the carton, making it slippery and nasty, and dissolving the labeling to the point that it left black smears on my hands when I pulled it out of the shipping box. The carton was also flimsy to the point of being mushy. I bought a clear plastic sealable container, then transferred the tallow to it, and since then it's become a staple in my kitchen. I highly recommend this product under the proviso that you be careful when opening it and be ready to immediately transfer it to a better container.EDIT, July 25, 2025: I received my second bucket of tallow today and happily the top hadn't leaked during shipment this time. Unfortunately, the seal under the lid DID blow out as soon as I pulled the carton out of the shipping box. I was ready for it this time, though, and had my permanent container ready for the transfer. In thinking about it, I'm not surprised about the leak, since the product is packaged in Chicago at about 600' elevation and I live in the Colorado high country at 7,400'. Beef tallow evidently expands as the air pressure goes down. (You should see some of our rock-hard potato chip bags!) If you live where the air is actually thick enough to breath, you probably won't have this problem. I'm still in love with this product and I'm changing my rating from a four to a five based on my stupid altitude.

So far, this 42 Ounce container from South Chicago Packing is by far the best Beef Tallow in both Quality and Price from Amazon. Our containers have arrived consistently well packed, sealed, and fresh (never rancid on delivery). Long list of hints here: Upon opening, the smell should be odorless (this was). Texture: like Crisco, and white in color. This tallow is like a whipped product that appears white, so to keep it consistent in its original form you must keep it stored in a cool cellar or pantry (a technique for longer-term storage is always lid closed, then placed in a Paper Bag as if winter squash going into the cellar). In daily use, keep away from heat, store in Pantry but be very deliberate when getting this out to use it, do not set next to a hot stove, nor your Toaster (packaging says keep away from heat, after all), not even for brief periods of time (treat the can like a child - don't touch the hot oven). If you are on Amazon Subscribe & Save, stock up in cooler months, avoid shipping in hottest summer months (especially Southern USA and Desert SW USA). Settling will occur if it ships in a hot month so it may appear less full but weigh it, and you'll see it is the 42 Ounces as advertised. If it was shipped sitting on its side and in heat, it may have a weird low spot on the top but only down one side of the can (that was on top as it set in heat). It can be stored in a refrigerator, but it is not necessary if you use it frequently enough to avoid it going rancid. If you want to pan fry food, use this like adding butter to your cooking oil. Not everyone can afford to use 100% Tallow to fry with but adding just a "pat of butter" equivalent to your pan-frying oil really makes a difference. For tallow's cooking ability, in your recipes, you can substitute in this tallow but I would only recommend a portion of the oil, so you should experiment with adding only portion amounts of tallow to blend with the oil you may normally use (Olive oil in bread recipes, as example - try half tallow, half olive oil). Dog Lovers - this is your go-to food additive. A spoon of beef tallow put in a dry food bowl and mixed in to coat the dog's dry food, can turn any dry dog food into the dog's favorite, and this has great fats a dog needs to maintain a better coat (we get compliments all the time about our dogs). Most dry food has protein but is low on fat and this is like a booster agent your dog needs. Extreme Dry Skin remedy of old: put very small amount on back of hands, and try on elbows and knee cap areas where you stretch out your skin constantly during a work day (once a month is a good at-minimum usage). Eating tallow helps those same skin areas from the inside-out, over time.

This is really high quality tallow. Its texture and flavor is superior to many of the others we have used. If you are a professional chef or at home cuisine queen, utilizing this is both intuitive and well worth it. It adds a depth and complexity to almost every dish it is incorporated.

I tried it today to fry my tortillas to make tostadas. Everyone loved the taste of the tortillas! It gave the tortillas such a great taste, better than olive oil & avocado oil.I also used a bit to rehear my shredded chicken and it was also great!The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was when I tried to take the seal off of the container it would not come off. I had to really struggle with it and had tallow all over my fingers.
