One recipe for him, one for her — both rendered the slow way from grass-fed suet, in small batches, by hand. Nothing added that doesn’t belong on skin.

Black Mountain sits just east of Asheville, a short hop from our Fletcher stove. Grass-fed tallow balm, rendered slow and small-batch, headed a few ridges east.
Black Mountain is a walkable little arts town under the Seven Sisters range, home to Montreat and the old Black Mountain College legacy — a place that has always valued craft and the handmade. Our tallow keeps good company there: made by hand, made close by, from a short and honest ingredient list.
Grass-fed matters because a fat carries what the animal ate. Suet from grass-fed cattle renders cleaner and milder than grain-fed — it’s the difference you feel on skin.
You won’t find us on a shelf in Black Mountain — every jar comes straight from our kitchen in Fletcher, North Carolina to your door. No middleman, no store markup. The first batch is rendering now, and the waitlist gets it first.

Yes. We ship grass-fed tallow balm to Black Mountain, North Carolina and across the United States. Every jar is rendered and jarred by hand in Fletcher, North Carolina.
It's our own climate — humid mountain summers, dry crisp winters, drying elevation — and we render specifically for it. Patch-test to start, as with anything.
Tallow is rendered beef fat. Its fatty-acid profile — mostly oleic, stearic, and palmitic — is close to the oils skin makes on its own, so it absorbs rather than sitting on top. Grass-fed tallow also carries the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Most lotions are mostly water, held together with emulsifiers and preserved to stay shelf-stable. A tallow balm skips the water entirely — just rendered grass-fed fat, whipped soft — so a little goes further and the ingredient list stays short.
Both use the same grass-fed tallow base. His is heavier and barely scented; Hers is whipped lighter and softened with a little honey.
Longer than it looks. A pea-sized amount covers a whole face, so most people find one jar lasts a good while even with daily use.
