tallow
Chandler's raw material
Tallow is hard fat rendered from beef or mutton, historically used to make candles and soap.
Before petroleum-based products, tallow was essential for lighting and lubricants.
It remains in some industrial applications and traditional crafts: tallow candles, tallow soap.
The verb means to grease with tallow.
