Bison Tallow

The rendering process is what separates this from the jar on a grocery shelf. Northstar slow-renders the fat for 72 hours in jacketed steam kettles, then finely filters it, bottles it hot, and rapidly cools it — a deliberate process designed to produce the smoothest, most pure, most nutrient-dense grass-fed bison tallow possible. Available in two formats: a pint jar (14 oz contents) or the new Tallow Cubes — a 16 oz resealable package of individually portioned ~1 oz cubes for cooking convenience.

Most cooking fats at the grocery store come from grain-finished commodity cattle — or worse, are highly processed seed oils with no traceable origin. This is something else entirely: a whole-animal, nose-to-tail fat from 100% grass-fed and finished bison, regeneratively raised on open pasture in the Northern Plains. Grass-fed and finished animals produce fat with a meaningfully different nutritional profile than grain-finished animals — and bison, leaner by nature, yields a cooking fat with a mild, neutral flavor that won't overpower what you're cooking.

Use it anywhere you'd reach for butter, lard, or cooking oil. Sear proteins in it. Roast root vegetables. It adds nutrient-dense richness without dominating the dish. Keto, paleo, and carnivore eaters will find it an especially clean and versatile staple — and it's fully gluten-free, with no preservatives, no flavor enhancers, and no colorings, making it one of the purest animal fats you can cook with.
