" Beef Tallow is one of the heavier products we ship — these 20kg cubes go to high-volume Canadian fryers: fish-and-chip shops, poutine bars, and a few restaurants that fry in tallow for that classic smashburger flavour. One Edmonton chain ran a single cube for 6 days at 200+ fryer cycles. Shelf-stable, freezer-friendly, high smoke point."
Using beef tallow changes the texture and flavour of your fried items — you get that crispy exterior and rich, savoury finish that neutral oils can't match. It holds up well under commercial deep fryer conditions, meaning fewer oil changes and more consistent product quality during peak hours. From classic Belgian frites to old-fashioned fried chicken, this 20kg cube is a foundational ingredient for many kitchens across Canada. Explore more bulk ingredients in our food service range.

Contains BHA, BHT, and Dimethylpolysiloxane for oxidative stability, giving you a consistent frying medium.
Professional Applications
Operators use this tallow for commercial deep frying of fish and chips, authentic Belgian frites, and old-fashioned fried chicken. It's also a strong choice for commercial bakery applications where a rich, savoury fat is preferred, and for high-volume griddle work like smashburgers.
