For years tallow has not been used much in kitchens at home. In several, industrially produced foods it finds its way to our households nonetheless. Short pastry and puff pastry as well as plum pudding and mincemeat are often produced with tallow. For the production of some margarine varieties the so-called oleomargarine, a fat with a low melting point, is made from beef tallow.
