At Gild & Graze, we only use 100% grass-fed suet because the quality of the tallow starts long before it's rendered—it begins in the soil. When cows are raised on open pastures and allowed to graze naturally, their diet is rich in native grasses and minerals that have been recycled back into the land through regenerative grazing and intentional soil management. These minerals nourish the pasture, which in turn nourishes the animals, creating a suet that is dense in skin-loving nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K. Unlike animals confined to feedlots, concrete enclosures, or industrial barns, these cows move freely under the sun, in sync with the rhythms of nature. This freedom not only supports the animal’s health and well-being, but also results in a cleaner, purer fat that mimics the biology of our own skin—making it one of the most compatible and effective moisturizers nature can provide.
