This is a true foundational fat — stable, nourishing, and time-tested. Fatworks’ grass-fed beef tallow is rendered from 100% pasture-raised, grass-fed, grass-finished beef suet (kidney fat), then carefully filtered for purity. It has a naturally high smoke point and is shelf-stable, making it ideal for frying, roasting, baking, sautéing, and everyday cooking.
Nutritionally, beef tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and a balanced profile of saturated and monounsaturated fats that support hormone function, brain health, and steady energy. Unlike industrial seed oils, tallow is highly stable under heat and resists oxidation — meaning fewer inflammatory byproducts formed during cooking. This is the kind of fat the human body has recognized and thrived on for generations.
Also excellent for traditional skincare, where its fatty acid profile closely mirrors our own skin.
Fatworks exists to restore traditional fats to the kitchen — fats that nourish instead of disrupt. They work directly with farmers who prioritize pasture-raised, humane practices, including partnerships with Colorado producers. Using traditional rendering methods, Fatworks creates clean, reliable animal fats without deodorizing, bleaching, or industrial processing.
Their philosophy aligns closely with ours at Carpe Diem: real food over food-like products, stability over convenience, and nourishment over trends. By eliminating industrial seed and vegetable oils — which are highly refined, easily oxidized, and linked to inflammation — Fatworks offers an alternative rooted in how people cooked and ate when food was both simpler and healthier.
