Disgusting Tallow - Absolutely Fed Up

I ordered 5kg of tallow and the smell was absolutely unreal... so bad it stank out my entire house. This wasn’t a mild “farm” smell or something that needed a gentle clean-up. It was putrid.

Because I urgently needed this for my business, I had no choice but to re-render and deodorize it myself. What came out during the wet render was absolutely disgusting. The photos show it clearly: a huge amount of gelatinous, slimy sludge separating out and collecting in the bottom of the pot. There was A LOT of it, far more than should ever be present in a finished product.

Even after all that work, the tallow is still crumbly and not smooth, and I’m now considering a dry render just to try and make it usable. That’s time, energy, and cost I should never have had to absorb for something sold as a finished product. I've worked with a lot of tallow in my life and this is by far the worst I have ever encountered. I honestly feel very bitter about it.

This is especially disappointing because the company looks like a gold mine online, but after this experience, I don’t trust buying anything else from them. If this passed quality control, that’s a serious problem.

Product quality needs to be checked before shipping. What I received was unacceptable.
