About

American Tallow was founded by Walter Aleksic and Niko Kritikos, with a simple but powerful mission — to bring back real, traditional cooking and remind America what true flavor and health taste like.

There was a time when American food was unforgettable. Fries were golden and crisp, burgers were juicy and rich, and family meals brought everyone together around the table. The reason was simple—America cooked with beef tallow.

For generations, tallow was the backbone of American kitchens. It fried, seared, and roasted its way through diners, restaurants, and homes across the country. It was trusted, natural, and proudly American. Then industrial seed oils took over—cheap, foreign, and heavily processed. They replaced what was wholesome with what was profitable. Flavor disappeared. Health declined. And a cornerstone of American tradition was nearly lost.

We decided enough was enough.

At American Tallow, we’re bringing back the fat that built this country. Our tallow is made from 100% American beef, proudly sourced and rendered in Indiana. No imports. No tariffs. No shortcuts. Just clean, natural cooking fat—crafted the way it was always meant to be.
