Costco

Huge find at Costco in Culver City this week

What are people’s favorite tallow brands?

Usually just render my own from trimmings but have heard good things about South Chicago Packing's wagyu tallow

/new-york by day 🗽 /untzuntz by night 😈 Fan of eating tacos and bringing people together, often at the same time 🌮

I typically buy the full rib roast from Costco and trim it myself which means

– a bunch of excess fat that can be rendered down into tallow (use a Dutch oven, takes time but lasts a while, be patient)

– I get to cut my steaks into whatever thickness I want (usually 1.5-2” for me)

– I can also reserve some of it as a roast to make a prime rib (I usually do 7-10 lbs)

and it’s half the price of cut ribeyes

A cut above butcher shop has it rendered from their grass fed beef. I like that one. I usually just get it pre rendered from a trusted butcher shop

I’ve never used tallow, but looking forward to learning from the replies :)

The best is direct from a farmer or butcher but I haven’t found one in LA yet

Lineage Provisions, FOND, White Oak Pastures…. All regenerative, grass fed and finished.
