1911: The Year America Changed Its Cooking Fat
Ask anyone what their great-grandmother cooked with, then ask what's in their own pantry. Something happened in between — and i...

The most honest cooking fat you can buy. 100% grass-fed American beef, in a glass jar. That's the whole label.
Rendered low-and-slow by hand, strained, and packed in glass. No seed oils. No solvents. No shortcuts — because a cooking fat with a one-word ingredient list shouldn't need any.

Why beef tallow?
What it is
Beef tallow is rendered beef fat. That's it.
How you use it
Exactly like butter, olive oil, or vegetable oil, a 1:1 swap.
How to cook with it
Sear, fry, roast, sauté, bake. 420°F smoke point.
NOT NEW — JUST BACK
Beef tallow isn't new. It's been around for generations.
For hundreds of years, people cooked with beef tallow, lard, butter, and schmaltz. It's what your great grandma used and what McDonald's fried its fries in until 1990. Then cheap seed oils took over because they cost less, not because they were better. Now tallow is making a comeback because people miss how food used to taste.

The founderRead the full story
This is Nacho. He made TALO because he couldn't buy what he wanted to cook with.
Nacho started cooking on camera in his own kitchen, no studio, no crew. Half a million people followed along, mostly to watch him cook real food in real pans.
He made TALO because what he could buy was garbage: tallow rendered from trimmings, cut with who-knows-what, sold in plastic. So he sourced 100% grass-fed and grass-finished fat from upper-Midwest family farms, had it rendered low and slow at a USDA-certified facility in Wisconsin, and packed it in glass.

The render
Made the way it was before 1911.
Every batch is rendered by hand, low-and-slow, at a USDA-inspected facility. No chemical solvents. No bleaching. No deodorizing. Just heat, time, and a fine strainer — the exact process that produced the cooking fat humans cooked with for 200,000 years before industrial refining showed up.
