| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Tallow is the rendered form of animal fat. Tallow is created from fat by the 'render fat' job in a kitchen; fat is obtained from butchered animals. Tallow is used to make soap, and can also be used as a low-value "solid" ingredient in prepared meals. Since tallow does not have quality levels, rendering fat is a good, but slow, way to train a cook. However, this also means that forbidding tallow from the kitchen menu is a must for players looking to create expensive Lavish Meals to trade or to help keep dwarves happy.
Note that although fat will be created as a stack, the 'render fat' job will only render one piece of fat at a time, effectively splitting the stack into a bunch of single pieces of tallow.
It is stored in food stockpiles and found under fat. Tallow can be stored without a container, but if barrels are available dwarves will fill up to 10 units of random tallow in one barrel.
