Wagyu beef is renowned for its exceptional marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it a favourite among discerning foodies. However, chefs are now discovering the untapped potential of Wagyu tallow. The premium take on rendered fat brings an unmatched depth of flavour to basically anything!

Flavour

The high level of intramuscular fat in Wagyu beef contributes to a buttery, umami-rich taste that sets it apart from traditional cooking fats. When used to fry or roast potatoes, this tallow imparts a deep, savoury essence that complements the natural sweetness of the spuds. The result? A flavour profile that will blow minds.

Crunch

While duck fat fries are celebrated for their crispiness, Wagyu tallow takes the concept to a whole new level. The unique composition of Wagyu fat ensures a higher smoke point, allowing for a perfect balance between crispy exteriors and tender, fluffy interiors. Say goodbye to soggy fries or roast vege and hello to a heavenly crunch that will leave your customers craving more.

Versatility

Wagyu tallow isn’t just limited to fries; it can be used for anything from roasting vegetables to sautéing or basting proteins. You could even experiment with Wagyu tallow in sauces, dressings, and even desserts in place of vegetable oils or butter.
