Our Ingredients

Founded by a woman of color with indigenous roots in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and the Filipino countryside, Oakland-based
Summer Solace Tallow renders suet (the fat from the inside cavity of the cattle, closest to the loins and the kidneys) from grass-fed cattle raised on 100% certified organic pasture lands just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean at Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales Bay, California.
The ranch is a family-owned farm less than 150 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area. Our rendered suet fat yields buttery soft tallow with a pleasant and mild scent that we infuse with organic, whole Calendula flowers grown in Sonoma county, then blend with local extra-virgin olive oil from Seka Hills grown, harvested, and produced on Native American land by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation in Capay Valley, California.
We use the highest grade of organic essential oils and wildcrafted absolutes in our product line from Ecologically responsible natural perfumers in California.
Tallow was commonly used as a sustainable, regenerating skin protectant before the introduction of Petrochemicals. Our wise ancestors knew the value and health benefits of using grass-fed animal fats in their diets and topically to protect and heal against the environmental elements.
