Where Purity Begins: The Role of Organic Cattle in Our Tallow

The story of our tallow begins long before the render pot, it begins in the pasture.  Where the soil is alive, the grass is clean, and the animals graze calmly under the New Zealand sun.  That’s where our care starts too.  Because what happens on the land shapes everything that follows.

Why Certified Organic, Grass-Fed Matters

We use suet from certified organic, grass-fed cattle raised here in Aotearoa.  These animals live on nutrient-rich pastures of clover, herbs, and legumes, free from antibiotics, synthetic fertilisers, and pesticides.

The result is fat that’s naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E & K, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, clean, stable, and deeply nourishing.  You’ll see it in the texture, the colour, and the way it melts effortlessly into skin.

Calm Animals, Cleaner Suet

A calm life produces calm energy, and that extends to the suet we render.  When cattle live and are processed respectfully, without unnecessary stress, their fat remains firm, clean, and nutrient-dense.

That difference carries through to every jar: tallow that feels lighter, smells cleaner, and supports the skin barrier naturally.

Traceability You Can Trust

Our suet comes from one of New Zealand’s few certified organic beef farms where everything, from birth to butchery, happens on-site.  That means full traceability and integrity at every step.

We render by hand in small batches, using gentle, low-heat methods that preserve the fat’s natural nutrients.  No chemicals, no bleaching, no shortcuts, just pure, honest tallow that honours its source.

From Soil to Skin

Healthy soil grows healthy grass. Healthy grass nourishes healthy animals.  And from that, we create tallow that restores balance, nutrient-rich, stable, and full of life.

When you open a jar of our Whipped Tallow Balm, you’re holding more than skincare. You’re holding the story of good soil, mindful farming, and care that begins long before it reaches your hands.

Because for us, purity isn’t just a label, it’s a way of making, rendering, and giving back to the land that gives to us.
