Tallow is at the heart of everything we do at Summer Solace.
As the pioneer in Regenerative Tallow® and the Slow Body Care Movement®, we source beef suet fat, a nutritious animal fat derived from the suet naturally surrounding the loins and kidneys of cattle.
Though often discarded today, tallow has historically been used in a myriad of culinary and cosmetic applications when saved from the waste stream. It has been a vital resource among pastoral communities throughout much of human history.
At Summer Solace, we craft all of our tallow in-house using slow, traditional methods, starting with suet (we never use trim fat!) from healthy animals raised for meat at Stemple Creek Ranch. These animals spend their lives grazing on regenerative Northern California pasturelands.
Tallow is at the core of everything we create at Summer Solace Tallow.
Our products begin with premium beef suet fat, a nutrient-rich, healthy animal fat derived from the suet surrounding the loins and kidneys of cattle. Unlike conventional practices that often discard this valuable resource, we embrace its centuries-old uses for its deeply nourishing and healing properties. Tallow has been a trusted staple in culinary and cosmetic traditions among resourceful pastoral communities throughout human history.
At Summer Solace Tallow, we take quality and care to the next level. Our tallow is crafted in-house using time-honored, slow-rendering methods.

Pasture-raised suet tallow benefits are more than skin deep. At Summer Solace, we make each buttery smooth batch of nourishing tallow in-house and by hand with exclusively locally sourced suet from verified regeneratively raised cattle from Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales Bay, California.
More than organic, the ranch we work with practices beyond sustainable methods that draw carbon down from the atmosphere and directly assist in reversing the effects of climate change.
These animals are responsibly raised and grazed on Northern California pastures within 60 miles of our Oakland studio, helping us minimize transportation's impact, lower our carbon footprint, and maintain healthy relationships with our ranchers.
