Beef fat (suet)

Raw unprocessed fat found around the kidneys and loins of cattle and sheep.

Suet is solid fat obtained from the kidneys and loins of cattle and sheep. Here at PEPITO, we use Category 3 fat, including suet, as an important raw material in processing, during which valuable processed animal fats and proteins are created that can be used in a variety of industries.
Among the beef raw materials (types of tallow) we source at PEPITO, the most notable are internal suet and trimming tallow:

Internal suet – also known as slaughter suet – is characterized by its firm consistency and richness in fatty acids, making it an ideal raw material for further processing.
Trimming tallow – also referred to as beef fat trimmings – is specific in its composition as it is a mixture of subcutaneous fat, fat around the muscles, and fat from the interior of the body cavity.
