Our beef tallow is made from rendered suet (kidney fat) sourced from local cattle. We make it in-house in small batches, using a heating and filtering process to eliminate impurities and ensure the highest quality. The result is a solid fat that can be used for both cooking and cosmetics. Our cooking tallow is a natural & organic alternative to cooking oil, perfect for sautéing, frying, roasting, grilling, and more! Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, & K, along with essential fatty acids, which deeply nourish & moisturize the skin & hair. Its natural composition closely mimics the skin's own oils, making it an amazing choice for restoring the skin barrier.

Our tallow products are naturally shelf-stable for 12-14 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Keep products out of direct sunlight and store them at room temperature or below. If any oil product separates, simply shake it gently before each use. If your tallow becomes too soft, place it in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm it up again. Since we don't use preservatives, emulsifiers, or stabilizers, it's essential to avoid contamination from dirty hands or water. To determine the expiration date, we recommend referencing the date of purchase. All our products are handmade in small batches, crafted close to their shipping dates to ensure freshness.

Our products are free from preservatives and stabilizers. Exposure to high temperatures may cause the product to melt and may result in minimal leakage. This is completely normal and does not affect the quality of the product. If any separation occurs, simply stir the product and store it in a cool place. All of our products are handmade in small batches, so slight variations in packaging, color, or texture may occur due to sourcing or seasonal changes. We encourage you to reuse or recycle our glass jars.

Just like all animals (and humans), cattle store fat-soluble substances, including certain toxins, in their fat cells. While most toxins are processed and eliminated by the liver and kidneys, fat cells can retain environmental toxins such as pesticides (including glyphosate), heavy metals, and other harmful chemicals, particularly if the cattle are exposed through their diet or environment. This is why grass-fed and grass-finished cattle are often preferred—they are less likely to be exposed to these chemicals, which results in cleaner, more nutritious fat that benefits both the skin and body. In contrast, commercially raised cattle are more likely to encounter toxins due to their diet, environment, and farming practices.

Beeswax has a higher melting point, which means it burns brighter, cleaner, and with little to no soot or smoke when the wick is properly trimmed.

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. Allow the candle to burn long enough to create a full melt pool to prevent tunneling. Keep away from drafts for an even burn.

This is called bloom—a natural effect of pure beeswax. It’s harmless and can be wiped off or buffed away with a soft cloth for a polished look.

Please read and follow all safety guidelines when using our candles to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Always burn candles on a heat-resistant, stable surface and away from flammable objects. Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children or pets. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use to prevent excessive smoke and uneven burning. Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep candles away from drafts, vents, and air currents to avoid uneven burning or excessive flickering. Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom to prevent overheating or glass breakage. Always follow proper extinguishing methods, such as using a snuffer, and avoid blowing out the flame to prevent wax splatter.

Sourdough is naturally leavened with a wild yeast and bacteria culture (starter) instead of commercial yeast, giving it a tangy flavor, chewy texture, and longer shelf life.

Yes, but it’s wild yeast from the starter, not commercial yeast. This natural fermentation process helps develop its unique flavor and texture.

No, sourdough contains gluten. However, the fermentation process may help break down some gluten, making it easier to digest for some individuals—but it is not safe for those with celiac disease.

Keep it in a paper or cloth bag at room temperature for 3-5 days. You can also keep it in a Beeswax Wrap for 1-3 weeks. Avoid plastic bags, as they trap moisture and can make the crust soft. For long-term storage, freeze slices or loaves in an airtight bag.
