candles

Tallow candles have been used for centuries as a source of light. They are made from the rendered fat of animals, typically beef or mutton, and have a distinctive yellowish color. Beeswax is harder to come by and considerably more costly than tallow, made from honeycomb. Tallow candles produce a warm, flickering light that many find to be more inviting than the harsh light of electric bulbs. They are also relatively inexpensive to make, which has made them a popular choice for centuries.

Tallow candles have a number of benefits over other types of candles. They are long-lasting, burning for up to eight hours at a time. They are also relatively smokeless and do not produce harmful fumes. Additionally, tallow candles are biodegradable, making them an environmentally friendly option.
