We've been sharing samples with friends and family - here's what the first tasters had to say.
“I was first introduced to Tallow and Flame by a friend, and I absolutely loved it from the very first time I used it! It has become a favourite in my kitchen and is so versatile for cooking.
I really enjoy the quality and flavour it adds to my cooking, and I love knowing that I’m using a traditional, natural cooking fat. I’m so grateful my friend introduced me to it - I’ll definitely be keeping Tallow & Flame in my kitchen and would highly recommend giving it a try!”
“I’ve been using the beef tallow from these guys, and I’m genuinely impressed with the quality. You can tell it’s made with care, and the product feels clean, natural, and really well presented.
I’ve tried a few different products in this space, but this one definitely stands out. Great quality, excellent texture, and you can see that a lot of thought has gone into the whole process.
Would definitely recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for a quality beef tallow product. Support a great local business and give it a go - you won’t be disappointed!”
“I recently switched from using coconut oil to Tallow & Flame’s Beef Tallow for all my cooking, and I couldn’t be happier with the change!
The tallow adds such a rich, delicious flavour to my dishes, and I love knowing that I’m adding extra nutritional value to my cooking. It’s become a staple in my kitchen and I’m really enjoying the difference it makes.
I’ve already recommended it to a few friends, and they’ve tried it too - and they absolutely love it! I’m definitely a very happy customer and will be keeping Beef Tallow as part of my everyday cooking. Highly recommended!”
“I’ve been using Tallow & Flame in my kitchen for a while now, and I can’t imagine going back. The first time I tried it, it was clear this isn’t a mass-produced product. It’s handmade, and you can taste the care that goes into it.
My roast potatoes come out golden and crisp, vegetables take on a rich, savoury depth, and anything seared in it gets a beautiful crust. It’s now a staple in my kitchen.”
“We’re really loving the Tallow! It has such a nice taste and we’ve been using it for our Burger Fridays and our special foodie nights. I’ve even started mixing a little into the dogs’ food with some warm water and they absolutely love it!
It stays fresh, lasts really well and a little goes a long way. Definitely something we’ll keep using!”
“I absolutely loved using the Tallow from Tallow & Flame! I’ve used it in a few different ways and was genuinely impressed by how versatile it is.
I’ve used it for homemade roast potatoes, grilled steak and even in rotis, and it adds such a lovely richness and flavour to the food. I’ve also enjoyed it simply spread on warm, freshly toasted bread - absolutely delicious!
What I love most is how easily I can incorporate it into everyday cooking. It has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, and I find myself reaching for it more and more.
I would highly recommend Tallow & Flame to anyone who enjoys cooking with quality ingredients and wants to try something different. If you haven’t tried tallow before, I honestly think this is a great one to start with. It’s one of those products I’ve tried and genuinely found myself wanting to buy again - and I’ll definitely be recommending it to my family and friends!”
“I’m really impressed with this tallow! The quality is excellent, it’s beautifully rendered, and it has a clean, rich consistency without being overly greasy. It works really well for cooking and gives food that extra depth of flavour you just don’t get from ordinary cooking oils.
I also love that it’s a simple, traditional product without a long list of unnecessary ingredients. Definitely something I’ll keep using and would happily recommend to others looking for a good-quality beef tallow.”
“Wow wow wow, while my husband and I was starting our Health Journey we found Tallow & Flame, never thought that food can have more flavor just by preparing it correctly. And alot more healthier. We will never use anything else! Your taste buds will love you! No more tasteless diets!”
“Really impressed with this tallow. It was well rendered and clarified, with a clean, neutral aroma and no unpleasant odour. It gave the food a fantastic rich flavour and a joy to cook with!”
“Excellent product and outstanding quality. The beef tallow is pure, fresh, and perfect for cooking and frying. I appreciate the focus on natural ingredients and traditional food practices. The flavor is rich without overpowering the food, and the results are far better than using standard vegetable oils. Great packaging & excellent service.”
“Absolutely love this product! It’s amazing how much of a difference using something so simple and natural can make to everyday cooking. The flavour it brings to food is fantastic, especially when roasting potatoes or frying.
What I appreciate most is knowing exactly what I’m cooking with, without all the unnecessary additives. It’s refreshing to find a good-quality product that brings us back to the way food used to be prepared.
Definitely one of those products you don’t realise you’re missing until you start using it. Would happily recommend Tallow & Flame!”
“Epic product to cook with.
Feels like a much healthier way to cook and adds a really nice flavour to your food. No greasy left overs and easy to clean post cooking. Recommend for sure!!”
“I made the switch from cooking with seed oils to using tallow, and I’m really glad I did. I came across Tallow & Flame and decided to give their tallow a try, and I’ve been very impressed with it.
The quality is excellent, it cooks really well, and I love the flavour it adds to food. It’s also great knowing that I’m using a traditional cooking fat instead of the seed oils I was using before.
Tallow & Flame has definitely made the switch an easy one for me. I’m really happy with the product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality cooking tallow.”
