Tallow Candles

Tallow candles are a type of candle made from animal fat, usually from beef or mutton. Historically, tallow candles were a common household item before the invention of modern candles made from other materials. While not as popular today, tallow candles are still used by some for their rustic charm and historical significance. Tallow candles burn with a warm, natural glow and can be scented with essential oils to add a pleasant fragrance. However, tallow candles do have some drawbacks, including a strong, unpleasant smell when burned and a tendency to produce a lot of smoke and soot. It is also important to ensure that the tallow used in candles is from a sustainable and ethical source. While tallow candles may not be as widely used as other types of candles, they are still a unique and interesting option for those interested in traditional or historical candle-making methods.
