It's never fun to send products, processing materials, containers or ingredients to the lab for PFAS testing. It's expensive & causes a lot of stress & extra work, but labs don't lie. It took Bello Tallow 3 YEARS of testing to finally be able to say all products (except soaps - work in progress) have been lab verified PFAS non-detect.
So many companies love shouting "NON-TOXIC" from the rooftops yet have never sent in a sample & anxiously waited for the results. ARE you REALLY non-toxic? I've seen some maker's BTS & have to stop following bc ignorant tallow processing methods are asking for contamination!
I thought I was "toxin-free" too until I started testing. I was using expensive top of the line organic ingredients & was shocked to find they were positive for organic fluorine. Even the unbleached organic cheesecloth was contaminated!
You don't know unless you test & if the company isn't testing keep shopping. You deserve to know what you are putting on your skin.

Coconut oil is cheap, readily available, brilliantly marketed, and doesn't belong in your leave on skincare.
The first tallow I ever tried was a blend of tallow & coconut oil & left me greasy & breaking out.
The disappointment in quality & ingredient transparency from this brand ultimately led me to create Bello Tallow. So I guess thanks. 😜

Soy free & fragrance free tallow & beeswax candles help detoxify air & emit a warm honey scent.
FUN FACT
Did you know I tested 3 positive brands of beeswax before finally finding one that was PFAS non-detect. I started to loose hope when the "organic" farmers market beeswax came in at 170 ppm organic fluorine!
Moral of the story, you don't know unless you test.
**Tallow & Beeswax both tested PFAS non-detect, actual candles have not yet been tested.
** I stopped using EOs in candles. They emit a lot of soot & burning EOs is not recommended.

Why does Bello Tallow manage a growing flock of Dorper Sheep? In short I can’t have cows, due to lack of space. My sheep are AGA certified meat sheep with most kept for breeding & some culled for meat & tallow.
Livestock farming is a long game, but eventually I will offer a yearly drop of lamb tallow products from culled sheep.
My flock has excellent genetics & I breed for quality so some breeding lambs will be offered for sale. This spring I sold a gorgeous breeding ram lamb that will head to SC once weaned & the other lesser quality ram has been wethered and is the only Bello lamb what will head to this fall.
Bello Farm is a 37 acre farm consisting of a 30 acres of wooded wildlife management area with 7 acres of pasture shared with horses. I chose sheep vs cows for the following reasons:
1. They eat less & require less space
2. They eat 50% Forbes (weeds/broadleaf) & 50% grass & do not compete with the horses as much for grass
3. The require less infrastructure & handling equipment than cows, I can catch all mine by hand & cull the wild ones.
4. They are very drought tolerant & require less hay to supplement poor pasture
5. They are mowing fertilizing machines! Manure is instant fertilizer & tidier than patties.
6. Less flies
7. Less expensive to get started
8. Faster gestation time = faster growth
9. Easy to contain & move with electric netting or tape
10. They taste delicious

3 years of testing & a mountain of stress. I had some tell me this just may not be possible, but nothing less than perfect is acceptable.
PFAS non-detect status was achieved through testing ingredients, processing materials, containers and final products for organic fluorine detection limit 10 ppm.
Thank you to all my customers who have stuck with me & continued to support me even when I was transparent about less than perfect results.
