Honoring Tradition, One Batch at a Time

Well hey there, it's May 💋

I'm just so grateful you're here. What you're looking at is something our grandmothers knew by heart—pure, honest beef tallow rendered the way it's been done for centuries, with care and respect for the old ways.

A Humble Beginning in Our Restaurant Kitchen

Seven years ago, when we were running our little family restaurant, we made a simple choice: we'd cook with real fats, the traditional way. No shortcuts, no modern oils—just the same grass-fed tallow that kitchens had relied on for generations.

Folks would ask, "What makes your food taste so good?" And the truth was simple: we were cooking the way our great-grandmothers did.

Then one day, it occurred to me—if this tallow was good enough for our family's food, maybe it was good enough for our skin too. So I started whipping it up in our kitchen, just experimenting really, and sharing it with friends.

Back then, nobody else was whipping tallow like this. We didn't set out to be first or special—we were just trying to make something pure and honest, the way things used to be made.

Centuries of Wisdom, Seven Years of Learning

Tallow isn't new—it's ancient wisdom. For hundreds of years, folks used it for everything: cooking, candle making, soap, skincare, leather care. It was the foundation of the household, passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation.

We're just blessed to be part of keeping that tradition alive.

Over these past seven years, we've been honored to serve over 250,000 customers who've trusted us with their kitchens and their skincare. We've received over 25,000 five-star reviews from folks who appreciate the old ways as much as we do.

But we're still learning, still listening, still trying to honor the wisdom of those who came before us.

What Our Customers Have Taught Us

Every review humbles us and reminds us why we do this:

"First time purchase with Lady May. I ordered the 16 lb bucket for cooking and skin care. OMG! Their tallow is such a soft, creamy white with no beef smell at all. Exactly what I was looking for at a great price. Did I mention the ultra fast shipping??? Wow. Forever customer here!!!!" – Amanda

A Note About Quality

We render our tallow the way it's always been done—slowly, carefully, with attention to every detail. We source from grass-fed cattle because that's what makes the best tallow. We triple-filter because purity matters. We keep it unscented because that's how you know it's done right.

It's not fancy or complicated. It's just the traditional way, done with care.
