Rendered Bison Tallow — 1.5 lb Bucket (Rock River Bison)

$22.95 1.5 lb tub (Rock River Bison)

Rendered fat from Rock River's naturally raised Colorado bison. No additives, no blending, nothing but pure bison tallow in a 1.5 lb bucket. The same animal behind the steaks and ground beef in the Hub, rendered down into one of the most versatile cooking fats you can keep in your kitchen.

Bison tallow has a higher concentration of CLA and omega-3 fatty acids than beef tallow, a result of animals that lived on grass instead of a feedlot. The flavor is clean and mild — present enough to add something to a sear, neutral enough to stay out of the way when you need it to.

It has a high smoke point, which means it holds up at the temperatures that actually build a crust on a steak or crisp a potato. It's solid at room temperature and stores without refrigeration, which means it's ready when you reach for it.

Good for: searing the Rock River steaks in a cast iron pan, roasting vegetables at high heat, frying eggs, a replacement for vegetable oil in any high-heat cooking, pie crusts and biscuits for the baker who wants real fat, a skin-and-lip balm for anyone going the ancestral route.

Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Shelf-stable for months. Once opened, use within 60 days or refrigerate to extend.
