Our Story
Old Schools story begins with a long history of health issues. Eye trouble, asthma, cardiac arrest, joint issues the list can go own, but one of the lists which might out do my health issues is my hobbies.
You name it I've played it, but Hunting, diving, trail running, swimming, biking, MTB, jiujitsu, kickboxing, yoga, the gym are all hobbies I've tried to do concurrently. Which requires a lot of energy and a body held together by more than medical tape.

Now I'll still enjoy the odd French fry, but ill use tallow in every meal. )link other page)
Now microplastics, are even found in the air we breath!
but if the major concern is heated plastic, and beef tallow melts at 40-45 degrees...
Beyond the ordinary
Manufactures can't let the fat cool too much because it'll become solid so they must pour it into their plastic containers at at least 40-45 degrees. Therefore, at best there is plenty of microplastics teeming in the otherwise healthy product.
From grass to glass Old School Beef Tallow has your health in mind. This is the best of the best and it is from here I began to try recipe's, adding garlic, throwing in different quanties of paprika until I landed on the secret recipe.
Without being overpowering, garlic and paprika make the perfect companion for adding a hint of depth in flavouring your meals. Or stick to the 1 ingredient, the liquid gold. You can't go wrong.
And if you want to know more about saturated fat and why you don't need to worry. Here's a link to my blog where I discuss this at length.
