About Pure Tallow | Grass-Fed Animal Products South Africa

Pure Tallow is a South African brand on a mission to bring back grass-fed beef tallow and lamb tallow as the cooking fat and skincare ingredient nature intended. We source exclusively from pasture-raised South African farms — no seed oils, no additives, no shortcuts. Just pure, traditional fat the way your great-grandmother would have recognised it.

Pure Tallow South Africa grass-fed beef tallow brand

A Message from Our Founder

A few years ago I cut seed oils out of my diet and started looking for a clean cooking fat I could actually trust. We couldn't find one in South Africa that met my standards — so we built it. Every jar of Pure Tallow is what I feed my own family.

We know our farmers by name. I've walked their land. And I stand behind every product we sell.


Bringing Back Traditional Fats, the South African Way

At Pure Tallow, we believe that the best foods are often the oldest foods. For thousands of years, our ancestors thrived on nutrient-dense animal fats like tallow. Then, in the mid-20th century, we were told to fear these traditional fats and replace them with highly processed seed oils. We're here to change that narrative.

Our Mission

Pure Tallow exists to bring back the traditional, nutrient-rich fats that nourished generations before us. We're on a mission to provide premium grass-fed tallow from South African farms, support local farmers who raise animals the right way, educate people about the health benefits of traditional fats, and offer a natural alternative to industrial seed oils and chemical-laden skincare.

Why Grass-Fed Tallow?

Not all tallow is created equal. Our grass-fed tallow comes from cattle and lamb raised on South Africa's pristine pastures, eating what nature intended — grass, not grain. The difference is remarkable: rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K2, high in CLA and omega-3s, free from hormones and antibiotics, and produced using regenerative farming practices that heal the land.

Our South African Heritage

South Africa has a rich tradition of using animal fats for both cooking and skincare. Our grandmothers knew what modern science is only now rediscovering — that tallow is one of nature's most versatile and beneficial fats. We source exclusively from South African grass-fed farms that prioritise animal welfare, regenerative grazing, chemical-free farming, and supporting local farming communities.

More Than Just Cooking Fat

Pure Tallow isn't just for the kitchen. Our customers use it for cooking (220°C smoke point — perfect for frying, roasting, and baking), skincare (a natural moisturizer biocompatible with human skin), healing dry skin and eczema, and soap making.

Our Commitment to Quality

We don't cut corners. Every product we sell is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, free from additives and preservatives, rendered using traditional methods, packaged in food-grade containers, and traceable to South African farms. If it doesn't meet these standards, it doesn't carry the Pure Tallow name.
