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.
