Why Grass Fed Lamb Tallow?
For thousands of years lamb tallow (and other animal fats) have been prized for cooking due to its flavour, nutritional benefits and suitability for cooking (plus it hasn't go any nasties like bleaches or trans fats). But here's why we love Wagu Grass Fed white lamb Tallow:
1. Important for Building your Gut Lining
Saturated fats, which are present in lamb tallow, are essential for maintaining the integrity of cell the membranes for our digestive tract. Our cell membranes are vital for proper functioning of the gut barrier, which plays a crucial role in preventing the passage of harmful substances from the intestines into the bloodstream.

2. White Lamb Tallow is High in Omega 3
White lamb is a variety of sheep specifically bred for the Australian climate. Its fat is uniquely high in omega 3. You'll find that this tallow has just as much omega 3 per gram as wild-caught salmon.
3. Tallow has one of the Highest smoke points.
Pure, grass fed white lamb tallow has one of the highest smoke points of any cooking oil. Smoke point is very important when cooking. When an oil starts smoking, it's burning. When an oil (or anything) is burning, it tastes horribly bitter, but more importantly it damages beneficial nutrients and starts releasing harmful free radicals. We don't want to eat burnt oil.
4. Tallow doesn't have the Nasties
unlike lots of refined vegetable or seed oils which are heated, burnt, hydrogenated, bleached and deodorised. This Tallow is gently heated, strained, heated and strained until it's a pure, golden syrup. You know it's not burnt because it's golden, not brown. We guarantee it hasn't been bleached or deodorised (it smells so good).
4. Tallow is healthy
Using grass fed lamb is important as grass fed lamb has a more balanced omega 3 - omega 6 ratio than almost any other oil. Lamb tallow also does not have the trans fats of many vegetable and seed oils. Trans fats cause Huge health problems around the world. Lamb tallow is not only rich in beneficial fats, it's also high in vitamins A, D and K as well as CLA.
5. Tallow is delicious
