I love seeing successful tallow companies, as I wish more people would use tallow. However, it always bums me out, when I realize most the companies are just ordering rendered tallow online. Which isnāt horrible if youāre getting it from somewhere you trust. Unfortunately, most people are just going online. So that tallow is probably bleached, deodorized and mixed with all the things to get it done fast and make it white with no smell. All things which donāt have to be listed on the label. Not to mention, hot tallow poured into plastic š¬ no thanks.
I may not make every market, and Iām sold out here and there, but I am super prideful on the fact that I know our tallow is pure, itās local, and I can tell you whatās in it. Plus, you wonāt smell like a cow.
Years ago, I ordered tallow online, tallow everyone else is ordering (I went through ALL the forums), because I was in a pinch, with someone elseās viral video of our product. I was sending out 40-50 tallows every couple days. And it was the WORST tallow. It was either too soft (not suet, or it smelled like feet). Itās extremely embarrassing, honestly. I will never get those customers back, and I totally understand why. I was so worried about keeping up, that I tried to do what everyone else is doing, and it sucked. And that was just my back up. Since that experience, I would rather be sold out. But, I had to learn that lesson the hard way. Weāre in this culture where you can order anything online and itās there tomorrow. If you canāt provide that theyāll go somewhere else.
Because of that one week, years ago, I will never care about telling people it might be a few days. A lot of these tallow companies have really lost the main reason tallow is so amazing. Because of the simplicity, the nutrients, and the way we can control what weāre putting on our largest organ. Iām so happy I didnāt fall into the mass production side. (Although Iām jealous daily , Iām not going to lie about that š).
