Stellar Beef Tallow, 100% Grass-Fed and Finished, Good for Cooking, Baking and Frying, Food Grade, 5 lbs

PRODUCTO ABIERTO, DAÑADO Y CONTAMINADO!!!!

This organic 100 percent grass fed and finished beef tallow is an excellent product. A fair price for a quality product with health benefits. It is clear, pure and does not have a strong unpleasant smell. I find the smell quite appetizing, in fact. It fries beautifully with a great crust. The taste is somewhat neutral in my opinion, which brings out the flavor of the food without overwhelming it. That’s a good thing! I would have given it five stars and the reason I didn’t is because of other factors unrelated to the quality of the product. The top of the tub was and is extremely difficult to open. I struggled with it for a few minutes. These type of tubs are problematic. When I finally got it opened, the fat was all gathered on one side, which indicated that it had been exposed to warm temperatures that melted it, and then when it solidified, it settled all to one side of the tub, possibly resulting from being tilted or stored on its side. All saturated fat will melt in warmer temperatures, but I wondered at what temperature it was exposed to, for how long, and if that affected the quality of the product inside this plastic tub. It was probably more an issue in transport and shipping than anything having to do with the manufacturing of the product. The other issue was that it left a very thick aftertaste on the tongue and palate, even though I had drained any excess fat off the food. That feeling seemed to linger. It may have been more an issue of the type of food which was battered, than the tallow itself. When frying fresh tortilla chips, it didn’t seem to exhibit the same problem. Therefore, I would be selective of the foods with which to use this product. I had hoped to use it for most of my frying needs, eliminating the need to purchase other healthy oils, like organic Avacado oil because beef tallow has added nutrients. I did ask for a refund from Amazon based on these issues that I’ve mentioned, but would consider giving it another try in the future. With better quality control of shipment and packaging, these issues can be eliminated. I would still highly recommend this product as a much better alternative to seed oils. Be careful when opening that lid.

I love this Tallow, very light to the taste and makes your dishes have clarity! Prices are going up with the food pyramid changes! Get some now!

going back to basics in cooking, this is much better than oils.

This was the fourth tub I bought, why 4 stars you ask? It doesn't last long. Reusing this tallow is limited. I got grass fed tallow from another source and I could use it over and over without burning. This tallow heats up faster and will burn if you're not careful. I am not careful enough. I buy it because of the price and convenience. I am hoping it is what it claims to be or I am poisoning my family. This tallow doesn't smell as good as the other stuff I bought. Since tallow is all I fry in - well - I seem to be stuck with this brand until I find something better.
