tallowy
Like rendered suet
Tallowy describes something resembling or containing tallow—the hard, whitish fat rendered from beef or mutton, traditionally used for candles and soap.
The word suggests a pale, waxy appearance or greasy texture: His face had a tallowy pallor.
It can also describe an unpleasant fatty smell.
