Why We Render Three Times

Rendering is the slow process of melting fat and separating out the pure part from everything else - connective tissue, water and impurities.

A single render will give you usable tallow. But each additional pass lifts out more of what you don't want, and the result gets cleaner, whiter and more neutral in flavour.

We render three times. It takes longer and it's more work, but the payoff is a tallow that's shelf-stable without preservatives, mild enough for baking, and consistent from tub to tub.

That consistency matters to us. When you cook with Tallow & Flame, we want it to behave the same way every single time.

It's a small obsession, but it's the difference between fat and good fat.
