Not long ago, we lived in a culinary Golden Age. Our food tasted great and came straight from the farm, with fats like butter, tallow, and lard greasing the pan.But an unfounded aversion to animal fats and a desire for cheap ingredients made processed vegetable oils the norm, leaving our food tasting greasy and our traditions cold on the stove. While food fads come and go, tallow is timeless. Rich, decadent, and made from pure beef fat, it fueled generations before us, and so it will once again. Welcome back to the Golden Age of fats.
