Single ingredient. Zero seed oils.

You track sleep. You track HRV. You track macros and lifts and supplements. Then twice a day you pour something rendered with hexane solvent into a hot pan and forget about it.

Cooking fat is the easiest variable in your stack to fix. One ingredient. ~450°F smoke point. Naturally occurring CLA and fat-soluble vitamins. Glass-packed. The cooking fat your great-grandfather cooked with — back in your kitchen, where it belongs.

Cooking with beef tallow
A short history

What changed in 1990.

Until 1990, McDonald's fried in beef tallow. So did diners, drive-ins, your school cafeteria. Then the food authorities asked them to switch. Forty years of pantry advice followed it down.

The seed oil debate online is loud. We're not weighing in. We're just saying: humans cooked with rendered animal fat for 200,000 years. Industrial seed oils have been in the pantry for 80. The math on biological precedent is not subtle.

What's in the jar

(and what's not)

TALO jar — anatomy callouts

100% grass-fed & grass-finished American beef

Regenerative family farms in the upper Midwest. No grain finishing. No feedlots. The fatty acid profile shows it.

One ingredient

Read the label. That's the whole ingredient list. No "natural flavors." No oil blends.

Rendered low and slow

No hexane. No bleaching. No deodorizing. Just heat and time — the way fat has been rendered for thousands of years.

Naturally occurring CLA + vitamins A, D, E, K

Higher in grass-finished than grain-finished. By a meaningful margin. The kind of thing you can see in a fat panel.

~450°F smoke point

Sear, fry, roast, render. Mostly saturated + monounsaturated — doesn't oxidize like polyunsaturated seed oils under heat.

Glass jar · USDA Inspected

Inert packaging. No plasticizers leaching into your fat. USDA-certified facility in Wisconsin.

What you'll never find in TALOSeed oils. Hexane. Refined polyunsaturated fats. "Natural flavors." Bleaching agents. Deodorizers. Preservatives. Fillers. Or anything that wasn't a cow.
Daily use

One jar. Your whole cook stack.

Eggs cooked in TALO beef tallow
Eggs

Start here. You'll notice the difference on day one. Yolk doesn't fight you, white crisps at the edge, fat carries the flavor.

Crispy fries cooked in TALO beef tallow
Twice-fried potatoes

325°F to cook through, 375°F to crisp. The fries McDonald's stopped frying in 1990 — in your kitchen tonight.

Ribeye seared in TALO beef tallow
Seared ribeye

A tablespoon in a screaming-hot pan. A steak that earns the protein gram count. Hard sear, butter baste, rest.

Vegetables sautéed and roasted in TALO beef tallow
Roasted vegetables

Coats better than oil because it solidifies. Every floret gets the same browning. Garlic doesn't burn.

Nacho, founder of TALO, in his kitchen
Founder

I'm Nacho. I cook for my family every night.

I started cooking on camera because nobody was teaching the kind of cooking I learned from my mom and my abuela — real food, in a real kitchen, on a weeknight. Three years and 500,000 followers later, the question I get most is, what do you cook with?

So I made it. TALO is what I cook with. 100% grass-fed American beef, rendered low and slow in Wisconsin, in a glass jar. One ingredient. The way it was made before anyone tried to "improve" it.

If I won't cook with it, it doesn't ship.

Questions we get

The technical answers.

What's the actual smoke point? Some sources say tallow is 375°F.
~450°F for TALO. The wider range (375–450°F) you'll see online comes from the difference between low-quality, water-contaminated tallow and properly rendered tallow. We render low-and-slow, strain twice, and store in glass. Tested internally; the actual number on a given jar holds within a few degrees of 450°F. Higher than refined olive oil. Lower than refined avocado, but with way cleaner flavor under heat.
Saturated fat — is the diet-heart hypothesis still a thing?
We're not your doctor and we're not in the lipid hypothesis debate. What we'll tell you: it's one ingredient (beef), the cooking fat humans cooked with for 200,000 years before refined polyunsaturated oils arrived in the 1910s, and saturated fat is what fat tissue actually is — including the fat your body builds. If you have specific health concerns, talk to your doctor and take this label with you. Single ingredient is easier to evaluate than seven-syllable oil blends.
Why grass-finished, not just grass-fed?
"Grass-fed" can legally mean cattle that ate grass for part of their lives and were grain-finished in a feedlot. "Grass-finished" means they ate grass and forage the entire time — including the final months. The fatty acid profile of grass-finished tallow is measurably different: more omega-3, more CLA, more fat-soluble vitamins A/D/E/K. The difference shows up in lab work.
How does the fatty acid profile compare to seed oils?
Tallow is roughly 50% saturated, 42% monounsaturated, 4% polyunsaturated. Refined seed oils invert that — typically 60–70% polyunsaturated. The relevant difference at the stove is oxidation: saturated and monounsaturated fats are stable under heat; polyunsaturated fats aren't. If you cook with PUFA-heavy oils at high heat repeatedly, you're consuming oxidized lipids. We're not going to litigate the downstream health implications here — that's the data.
Is this the same as bulk tallow from a butcher?
Sometimes — depends entirely on the butcher and the source cattle. Most bulk tallow is rendered from grain-finished feedlot beef and stored in plastic. TALO is rendered from 100% grass-finished suet sourced from named regenerative farms, strained twice, glass-packed. If your butcher does the same thing at the same standard, by all means buy from them. If they don't, this is the alternative.
How long does a jar last?
Unopened: 6–8 months on a pantry shelf, no refrigeration needed. Opened: still 6+ months at room temp, longer in the fridge. Most cooks go through a 14oz jar in 3–6 weeks at one meal a day. Three jars is the monthly sweet spot. Six is quarterly stock-up.
