Tallow

Our tallow is sourced exclusively from small Canadian farms where cows roam freely and graze on natural grasses. This grass-fed approach delivers a superior nutrient profile compared to conventional options—rich in beneficial fatty acids like CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), higher levels of omega-3s, and essential fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) that support good skin health, and overall wellness.

We take pride in hand-rendering every batch in small quantities right here in Canada. This careful, low-and-slow process preserves the maximum nutrients while ensuring exceptional quality—no industrial shortcuts or additives. The result is a versatile, golden tallow that is perfect for deeply nourishing skincare products
