Etymology
The term 'tallow' originates from the Old French word 'talho', which itself comes from the Vulgar Latin 'talia', a derivative of 'taedum' meaning 'fat'. Historically, tallowing has been practiced for centuries, especially in countries where livestock farming is prevalent. In those days, rendering animal fat was necessary for survival, as it provided essential fats for cooking and preservation. With the rise of industrial processes and the shift towards vegetable oils in modern cooking, tallowing has become less common but is still valued in certain artisanal and traditional culinary practices. Today, tallow is recognized for its health benefits, particularly when sourced from grass-fed animals, and is used in various health and wellness products.
