Beef Dripping

Full product description

Proper old-school flavour. Our beef dripping is gently rendered from quality beef fat for a clean, savoury taste and a high smoke point—perfect for roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, chips and epic frying. It melts clear, cooks hot and leaves that unmistakable beefy finish. A little goes a long way; once you taste the roasties, you’ll never go back to oil.
