I did not enjoy this product at all. It basically tastes like you're eating a candle (wax). I couldn't really find a way to use this that didn't make me feel nauseated and leaving a strange taste in my mouth. Unfortunately, I had to throw away most of it. Beware that this is what the beef tallow is rendered from.
(*From USWM) Thank you for your honest feedback! Our suet is pure fat from around the Kidney of the animal. Like us, many of our patrons also choose to render their tallow from this product as a primary use. We share our favorite video under "recipes" as a how-to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypRsO9KdxXk&feature=youtu.be Kindest regards, The USWM Team

I made tallow from the 5 lbs of suet.
First, I tried to separate the beef and connecting tissue from the suet. While it’s impossible to do it totally, I did work on it for about 1-1/2 hours. At this point, I had two bowls - one with the suet (and bits of meat) and the other bowl with meat and connecting tissue (and bits of suet).
Next, I put the contents of each bowl into a pot to render the fat. As the big pot of suet melted, I was able to scoop out even more meat and connecting tissue and put it into the small pot.
From past experience, I knew that the small pot’s tallow would have a mild beef taste. I ended up getting 1-2/3 cups tallow and 3 cups cracklings from the small pot.
From the large pot, I rendered 7 cups of tallow which does not have a beef taste.
This means each cup of tallow costs approximately $3.33, and my dogs get the cracklings.

I seperated this into 5 bags upon arrival then froze it. Then I take out the 1 lb packages and let them thaw and eat small 1 or 2 oz servings raw per day with a sprinkle of Celtic salt. Really happy with it. Eating raw meat/fat I'm sure is controversial but oh well I've never gotten sick from it. I also use it to melt onto a pan instead of butter or oil for cooking. My dog begs for it too.

I bought this, but it is not suet. It is merely muscle fat. It is hard to tell at first when the frozen shredded package arrived; but once I rendered it it became clear that this was simply ordinary fat, not suet. If you require suet for specialty baked goods then do not buy this stuff because ot will not do the job. Obviously, I am disappointed to have spent the money and shipping, and the time rendering this stuff, to find out that it is not what I expected. For clarification, suet is the fat that is around the kidneys and is denser, whiter and harder than other fat. The butchers should know this, but apparently do not.
From USWM: We are very sorry to hear of your disappointment and are standing by at 877.383.0051 or eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com to further assist. Our beef suet is harvested from around the kidney area of the animal and should have the protein removed. This is an anomaly, and we stand behind our product and will not leave you at a loss. Best of health to you!

Don't know if i made the error or not.
Bought this to prepare Beef Crack (fried Beef fat).
First it just crumbles when i try to cut.
After almost wasting 5Lbs finally got enough pieces for air fryer.
In the Air Fryer was another adventure. It just melted away. Tried on stove with same result.
My experience on US wellness has been good but this time am a bit disappointed to be honest.
From USWM - Thank you for your valued feedback. We agree with you, the beef suet is pure fat harvested from around the kidney area of the animal and is not suitable for air frying. Many of our customers will render their own nutrient dense beef tallow from our pure beef suet. We aim to offer suet that is extremely lean and therefore will melt and not provide much beef crack (or cracklings). Please fell free to reach out to us at 877.383.0051 if we may be of further assistance in this regard.

I received my order today, 3/2/2021. I was a little nervous about ordering after reading some of the reviews. So glad I made the purchase of the beef suet. Two things that sealed the deal with the purchase were 1) the photo of the suet on the website was absolutely beautiful; and 2) they kept the negative reviews on their website, responded to them and stood by their product and the promise to make it right by the customer.
Everyone, this is the place to go for your suet. Please learn how to render it this makes the final product of tallow so cheap.
I received a tracking number, and my order was received as expected from the shipping schedule. When received the suet was vacuum sealed and I was overjoyed with how white and well cleaned the suet was. It was frozen solid, but I immediately placed in a cast iron dutch oven, placed in the oven and turned to 180 degrees. It took about 5 hours to render, the beef scent was mild, which made me very happy. After rendering, I got about 8 ½ cups of tallow.
I know folks are going to be like it just suet/tallow. However, I use it to make a moisturizing face balm. This seems to be one of a few products that doesn’t break me out. I tried a few drops on my face when the tallow cooled a bit. Can I tell you my face is singing. This stuff is BOMB good!
Thank you US Wellness Meats, you have a permanent customer.

I rendered mine for the first time. It was easy in a crock pot. I use this in place of other cooking oils. I have even popped popcorn with it (even though I should avoid corn). The flavor may be a bit strong for popcorn, so I now mix with coconut oil.
I hope to always have some of this in my refrigerator.
