Desert Farms - Real Organic Cooking Camel Hump Fat - Paleo and Keto Certified - Quickly Melting Use For Fry [High Smoke Point] - 31 Fatty Acids & Gluten-Free - Made In The USA [14 oz]

Don't ask what made me even think of trying camel fat, but I am so glad I did. I wanted to find something natural to use. My mother and the grands used tallow back in the day but that is much too heavy for my skin. PROS: -- The smell is (very surprisingly) very faint. It's not a bad smell & reminds me of "fried meat grease". The faint scent fades quickly if used on the skin. -- It is an amazing skin balm. I have used it head to toe - on my scalp as a moisturizer; on the ends of my hair to seal them; on my lips as a balm, on my face under my sunscreen; on my body as a "lotion" after showering; and on my feet. I have mild to bad psoriasis on my feet so they are always dry, even when I don't have an outbreak happening. This made my feet feel so good, I wasn't embarrassed by them. -- Using this on my face was the best. It's not greasy and feels a lot like natural sebum, IMO. It absorbed really well and, if I wanted, I would be able to wear makeup over it with no problems. -- When I used this on my baked fish (flounder and salmon) and white rice, it gave the food such a different depth of flavor - I want to say it brought out the savoryness (?). It seemed to give a boost to the other seasonings (a little Celtic sea salt, Old Bay, and garlic powder). I will probably always use this on my fish now. -- The jar was well-sealed (I needed a jar grip to remove it!) and arrived with plastic around the lid. -- The best-by date is sometime in 2025 (I smudged it by putting on a label!). I learned that it will last longer if kept well-sealed and cold. I put a bit in small jars for the fridge and I sealed the rest up and it's in the freezer until I need it. The fat has a texture very similar to virgin coconut oil - mostly - in that it will melt a bit in warm temps and firm up again in cold. However, there are tiny grainy bits in it. Those melted when cooked but I had to wipe them away when using the fat on my skin, but I think they might also melt away. This is a bit pricey but some things are worth it. If it stays in this price range, I will always have some around & I subscribed because I will be using so much of it now that I like using it for cooking *and* on my skin. I'm not sure about this part because I found it online somewhere random but: "Australian-sourced camel hump fat is known for its quality, as the camels in Australia are often free-range and well-cared for. " Hopefully! I would do a patch test. Most of us know if we have a beef or other animal product allergy but... LOL

So far, I have just eaten it with a spoon. I didn't think it had any bad smell at all. It reminded me of beef tallow. It is maybe just a little softer than tallow. I think it was nearly tasteless with just a little bit of taste like beef tallow.

I’m glad that I tried this Fat, its flavor is rich and adds an umami flavor to meat and it’s a healthier fat than most.

It sounds like the healthiest fat to use for cooking! This is a very small jar, maybe 4 inch of product - pricey... Flavor is kind of neutral to me, not as tasty as duck or goose fat (saved from baking those), but better than coconut oil which does not go well with all flavors. I have been using this to make my breakfast (turkey sausage, duck egg and a vegetable). It doesn't last since it kind of disappears and the food looks and feels dry... I am not sure if I would repurchase...

The smell is rank but when you put this on your body and face my god does your skin feel and “stay” feeling soft and supple all day long. I’m a Holisitic Health Practitioner so do not put anything cancer causing on my skin and wanted to add some nourishment and vitamins to my skin to prevent oxidative (aging) damage. I couldn’t find Sheep Tallow but found this and I know the Fatty Acid chains that rebuild your cell membranes and feed mitochondria were in high levels along with B12 in this particular fat. I hate the smell but for the health benefits and nourishment it gives to my skin I just grin and bear it. I smell like I ate a ribeye and got the meat smeared I’ll over my face 😅 but like I said to not get disease from toxic facial moisturisers and cleansers was my main and only purpose using this as daily moisturiser. I do Apple Cider Vinegar on my face and let it dry then add the Hump fat and this a game change for beautiful soft glowing skin.
