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.

Why you’ll love it

  • High smoke point for crisp, even browning

  • Deep, beefy flavour that elevates roasts and fries

  • Naturally dairy-free (pure beef fat)

  • Versatile: roasts, frying, pastry, searing and seasoning pans

Product details

  • Pure rendered beef fat (also called tallow)

  • Supplied in a resealable tub/block; solid at room temp, melts when heated

  • No additives or water added

  • Typical pack sizes vary—see label

How to use (quick guide)

Roast potatoes (game-changer):

  1. Heat oven to 220°C (fan 200°C).

  2. Add 2–3 tbsp dripping to a tray and heat 10 mins until shimmering.

  3. Add parboiled potatoes, toss carefully, roast 35–50 mins, turning once.

Yorkshire puddings:

  • Put ½–1 tsp dripping in each tin; heat until smoking, then add batter and bake hot.

Chips & frying:

  • Shallow-fry at 180–190°C until golden; drain well and season.

Searing & pastry:

  • Great for steaks, pie crusts, shortcrust and hot-water pastry for a savoury note.

Storage & handling

  • Store cool and dark with the lid on

  • Refrigerate after opening for best keeping

  • Re-use by straining through a fine sieve once cool; discard if it smells off or darkens excessively

  • Keep away from moisture and always use a clean spoon

Smoke point?
