What Is Wagyu Tallow? And What do I do with it?

WHAT IS WAGYU TALLOW?

Wagyu tallow is the rendered fat from Wagyu cattle—known for their high-quality, intramuscular marbling. While traditional beef tallow is often used for frying or making soaps, Wagyu tallow stands out for its:

      • Silky texture and clean, rich flavor
      • High content of monounsaturated fats (the same heart-healthy fat found in olive oil)
      • Naturally higher smoke point, making it ideal for high-heat cooking

Unlike commercial oils and fats, Wagyu tallow is a single-ingredient fat, minimally processed and packed with flavor and nutrients.

WHAT DO I DO WITH TALLOW & HOW DO I COOK WITH IT?

Our most asked question in the Meat Market, What do I do with Tallow & How do I use and cook with it?  Wagyu tallow is incredibly versatile. Think of it as your go-to cooking oil—but with way more flavor.

      • Add a spoonful of tallow to your skillet before searing a steak for better caramelization and flavor.

      • Use it in place of butter when frying eggs for a nuttier, richer result.
      • Make ultra-crispy homemade French fries
      • Use as a finishing oil over grilled meats or popcorn
      • Blend with herbs and garlic to create a savory compound fat for spreading or melting over hot food.
