EROS, La. (RFD News) — From the ranch to the kitchen to the medicine cabinet, tallow is making a comeback.
At Miller Cattle Company, Amy Miller transforms beef suet saved during cattle processing into rich tallow.
After extensive research, Miller mastered the process of making tallow to help with skin care issues. She uses a slow rendering process that removes impurities while preserving the tallow’s natural qualities, a process that can take days or weeks.
Miller incorporates ingredients ranging from vitamin E and green tea to honey from the farm’s own beehives. For her, the process is also about connecting customers to the food and products they use and the farmers who made them, with an added focus on health and well-being.
Miller will share more about tallow during the annual Miller Homestead Fair on Oct. 10.
