The Take
Grass-fed butter and beef tallow are the healthy choice for cooking fats. Single-ingredient animal fats beat refined seed oils on stability, nutrients, and flavor every time.
Butter brings vitamins A and K2 plus that unmistakable taste. Tallow offers a high smoke point perfect for frying without breaking down into harmful compounds.
The Verdict
These fats restore what pre-1990 kitchens took for granted: stable, flavorful cooking without chemical extraction or additives. Grass-fed sourcing adds verified nutrient density that conventional versions lack.
Pair either with pasture-raised eggs for the ultimate based fry-up. Buy it.
