Product Insights
This Wagyu beef tallow from The Fresh Chile Company is positioned as a Hatch chile cooking essential, sourced from a three-generation Texas ranch and endorsed by Cowboy Kent Rollins, with a 400–420°F smoke point that handles high-heat searing and frying while delivering shatteringly crisp, less-oily results. Its grass-fed Wagyu fat is rich in oleic acid (49–55%), CLA at 2–3× grain-fed beef, and vitamins A, D, E, and K, and it melts near body temperature (77–86°F), making it creamy, spreadable, and non-waxy—liquefying on the tongue for a silky clean mouthfeel. Shelf-stable up to a year (or 24 months refrigerated), it’s a byproduct of the beef program, and while the $29.95 24-oz tub costs $1.25/oz—less than half A5 Japanese tallow—bundle tiers cut each 1.5-lb tub to $23.96, backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee; the tradeoff is that it’s currently out of stock and requires refrigeration in warm climates after opening.
