South Chicago Packing 100% Pure Wagyu Beef Tallow, 42 Ounces – Paleo & Keto Friendly Cooking Fat for Searing, Sautéing & Frying

This was my 3rd purchase of Wagyu Beef Tallow and although pricey, cooking with it is excellent, giving me the results and tastes I am looking for in the end product. It is refined to a creamy texture, and the container allows you to scrap everything out of it with nothing wasted. I no longer use any type of seed oils, relying on butter, tallow, coconut, ghee & olive oil. Even though buying certified organic is a bit more expensive than high-production oils, I find they are of higher quality, satisfies my needs and is worth paying more. I also sparingly use this tallow by using it as a hand cream, and less often as an after-shave conditioner.

I am fairly new to cooking with tallow. beena t it for about a year now. I researched a lot on the negative health issues with seed oils and decided to make a change to benefit my family. So now, we use Tallow, Avocado oil and rarely Peanut oil (Sorry, but makes the best popcorn). I use tallow now for most of my meats and to pre-season my cast iron skillets and my flat top (Blackstone) outdoor grill. I will tell you, the flavor this adds to my hamburgers and steaks is notable and very pleasing. This tallow adds a nice beefy flavor to anything beef, love cooking with this. I have read with other brands, the color is off or there is an unpleasant odor when cooking, This WAGYU Tallow is not like that. It has a nice almost pure white richness in color. The consistency is a little thinner than lard and that makes it easier to work with. I originally bought two of these, one to use in the kitchen and one to use on my outdoor grill. Storage is easy, keep in a cool dry place or in fridge. I keep mine in the kitchen cabinet and got almost a year use out of it. No mold, no mildew, straight up held its own in the cabinet. As to what you are actually getting, the label reads Pure rendered Wagyu beef fat. Period, no added suet or other ingredients. Bought my second round of this a week ago so I am happy with the quality of this tallow. I would highly recommend this tallow for your culinary needs. Also, this has a low melt and high smoke point, so if you live in a warm environment, you may be happier storing in the fridge to maintain its consistency.

South Chicago Packing’s 100% Pure Wagyu Beef Tallow has become one of my favorite cooking fats. The flavor is rich without being overpowering, and it gives steaks, eggs, potatoes—pretty much anything—a beautiful sear and crisp texture. The 42‑ounce tub is generous, easy to scoop from, and lasts a long time even with regular use. I also appreciate that it’s a clean, single‑ingredient fat that fits perfectly with Paleo and Keto cooking. If you want a reliable, high‑quality tallow that elevates everyday meals, this one delivers.

The perfect way to bast, cook, grill, or smoke. One canister could go a long way depending on how often used — We just love this 100% wagyu tallow that we order it monthly on our subscriber and save because we do all the things listed above. Husband loves to grill and smoke large portions of meat to feed the neighborhood and if we ever start to have an excessive of canisters being shipped, we can skip deliveries. But most often we gift to people that host us for dinners or barbecues. I’ve also purchased lard from this company for my tamales and other baking needs. Appreciate the clean ingredient, and that it is healthier option especially over seed oils that are damaging to our bodies. The price is worth knowing I’m getting a quality product from a company I trust.

I'm addicted to this beef tallow now and have just ordered my second container of it. It's got an amazing flavor and the price is very reasonable. It's replaced lard, butter, and olive oil in all of my cooking. My only complaint is one that's been mentioned in the reviews elsewhere - the packaging. When I received it, the container had evidently leaked a little and tallow had coated the outside of the carton, making it slippery and nasty, and dissolving the labeling to the point that it left black smears on my hands when I pulled it out of the shipping box. The carton was also flimsy to the point of being mushy. I bought a clear plastic sealable container, then transferred the tallow to it, and since then it's become a staple in my kitchen. I highly recommend this product under the proviso that you be careful when opening it and be ready to immediately transfer it to a better container. EDIT, July 25, 2025: I received my second bucket of tallow today and happily the top hadn't leaked during shipment this time. Unfortunately, the seal under the lid DID blow out as soon as I pulled the carton out of the shipping box. I was ready for it this time, though, and had my permanent container ready for the transfer. In thinking about it, I'm not surprised about the leak, since the product is packaged in Chicago at about 600' elevation and I live in the Colorado high country at 7,400'. Beef tallow evidently expands as the air pressure goes down. (You should see some of our rock-hard potato chip bags!) If you live where the air is actually thick enough to breath, you probably won't have this problem. I'm still in love with this product and I'm changing my rating from a four to a five based on my stupid altitude.

I do like it. Great for frying but have to say when I opened it 1/6 of the container was just a big hole. I get it’s a machine that fills these things but just an FYI to the manufacturer.

Found the vat to be well refined, allowing a nice melt with pleasant smell on higher heat. Tasted good with the fried potatos and a toast. The taste is light not conflicting with cook item taste. Wagyu is on point.

Cooks well, seasons well, taste good. Easy to scoop. Can replace butter when stirfrying, sauteing, spreading over veggies. And it's healthier and 1 Pure ingredient.
