Coast Packing’s Corporate Chef Greg Hozinsky points out that the biggest draw of Beef Tallow is sensory: the flavor and texture it delivers. Unlike seed oils, Beef Tallow produces foods with a crispy exterior and a less greasy finish, without the oily feel often associated with seed oils.

Beef Tallow is making its way back into home kitchens for the same reasons some restaurants never let it go. It delivers savory flavor, promotes browning and crisping, and performs well at high temperatures. A recent article in @sacbee_news explores the comeback of this time-honored cooking fat and why it's becoming a favorite among home cooks. Crispier, richer, and more flavorful with Beef Tallow!

Beef Tallow delivers more than exceptional flavor. Its high heat stability and extended fry life can help reduce oil changes and lower annual costs.

All four chefs agreed: You need Beef Tallow in your kitchen! @SimplyRecipes asked chefs @JessPryles, @ChefDagan, Evan Rich @evanrich27 @richtable, and @Kent_Rollins if Beef Tallow is worth buying, and they all said yes. They love it for its rich flavor, high-heat performance and ability to make food extra crispy. While Beef Tallow can be used in all kinds of ways, their favorite is for roasted potatoes or French fries, with “searing a steak” coming in a close second. 😋 Check out what the chefs had to say: simplyrecipes.com/beef-tallo…

Love my local Outback Steakhouse fries!! They only use beef tallow which enhances the flavor of their fries giving them a rich, savory flavor. It also makes their fries crispier which totally satisfies me and keeps me coming back for more! @CoastPackingCo #BeefTallowFrenchFries
