What is beef tallow in South Africa?

Beef tallow (or beef drippings or beef butter) is rendered beef fat. Free-range and grass-fed beef fat has a distinct creamy yellow color and a delicious beef flavor.

Rendered means it has been gently heated, passed through a sieve and cooled in 500ml sterilized jars.

How long does tallow last?

Tallow animal feed typically has a shelf life of around 6 to 12 months if stored properly. It is crucial to keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Additionally, ensuring proper packaging and sealing can help prevent oxidation and spoilage.
