Candle Trends

Tallow is a rendered fat, specifically beef fat, that has been cooked down and had impurities removed. It is used in various applications, including cooking, soap making, candle making, and as a healing salve and skin balm. Grass-fed beef tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are important for health. Tallow is also a good source of vitamin D, choline, and other healthy fatty acids. It has a higher calorie content than butter. Tallow and lard are different types of rendered fat, with tallow coming from ruminants like cattle and lard coming from pigs. Tallow and olive oil have different nutritional profiles, with olive oil being cholesterol-free and containing higher amounts of vitamin E and antioxidants.
