Yield 10 ounce tallow balm

Equipment

  • Double boiler.
  • Stirring spoon
  • Glass jars with an airtight lid or metal tins
  • Labels
  • Optional: stainless steel funnel
  • Optional if making whipped tallow balm: Stand mixer OR hand beaters
  • Optional if making whipped tallow balm: Piping bag

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces rendered and filtered tallow 1 cup
  • 2 ounces good quality olive oil ¼ cup

Instructions
 

  • Fill the bottom pot of your double boiler with 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a boil.
  • In the top pot, add your tallow and olive oil. Stir occasionally as it melts down to combine.
  • For a solid tallow balm: Carefully pour it into your airtight glass container(s) or metal tins. Allow it to cool at room temperature overnight, properly label, and enjoy!
  • If making whipped tallow balm: Carefully transfer the melted ingredients into a mixing bowl. Allow everything to cool at room temperature. Once solid, use your beaters or stand mixer to whip it! Transfer to your airtight glass container(s) using a piping bag. Store in a properly labeled airtight container in a cool dark place and enjoy.

Notes

  • Properly label with the name, ingredients, and date.
  • Store in a cool dark place in an airtight container for 6 months-1 year.
  • A solid tallow balm's shelf life is longer than that of a whipped balm.
  • Ensure no moisture gets into your tallow balm as it will make it go bad.
