Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The price is the best i have found, the quality is excellent i have been purchasing this one and using it for the past 3 plus years. Tastes great too. The value is incredible.

The milder smell and flavor on this tallow lends itself wonderfully for homemade cosmetics such as soaps, deodorants, and whipped body butters. This stuff has the same consistency of the premium grade tallow at a much lower cost. Will use this for yea... Read More

Cons

This stuff is yellowish and has a strong smell when added to the dried beef. Left to settle overnight in the same cool, spring temps, the product now has pools of liquid and the more firm bits are soft as lumpy mayonnaise.

Customer service is very flippant and unconcerned. Will buy beef tallow somewhere else. This is not how tallow is supposed to behave. Everything is not due to pandemic!

I just looked at the price, however, and i'm shocked that it's now twice as much as it was in 2022.

Shipping

Contacted sue in customer service and replacement was quick, with absolutely pleasant and professional communication.

The seller’s customer service was expedient in dealing with a shipping issue.

I would order again but maybe only during the colder months to avoid a shipping disaster.

Packaging/appearance

You get a lot for this price, and i appreciate the quality control packing slip they include in the package.

The video is soupy 7lb package, the photo is of firm 32oz beef tallow (very little is left in the container).

Unfortunately both containers arrived cracked on the bottom which wouldn’t have been a big problem since being winter the cold ... Read More

The seller was very honest about the product and what to expect and i feel that even though the packaging could be better, its ... Read More

Competitiveness

I have tried a few of these and i like the flavor of this as good or better than the others.

Amazon is out of md life brand, which is perfect for this.

And i prefer it, but couldn't refuse this deal.
