Beef Tallow: The Clean Crunch Secret Behind Vaca Chips

Most chips get their crunch from seed oils and shortcuts.
Ours get theirs from beef tallow and better decisions.

When we started Vaca Chips, we weren’t just trying to make another snack. We wanted to create the cleanest, most craveable chip possible — with ingredients your body actually wants and a taste that hits way harder than your average “healthy” bag.

The secret? Beef tallow.
A traditional fat that brings unmatched flavor, crispness, and clean nutrition to every bite.

Why Beef Tallow?

Let’s break it down:

🔥 It’s High-Heat Stable
Beef tallow doesn’t oxidize or break down into harmful compounds like seed oils do. That means it keeps your chips clean — even when fried hot and fast.

🧬 It’s Nutrient-Dense
Unlike industrial oils, tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and healthy saturated fats your body actually uses for energy, hormone health, and brain function.

👊 It’s Ancestrally Legit
Humans have been using animal fats like tallow for thousands of years. Our bodies are hardwired to recognize it, digest it, and thrive on it.

From the Start, Vaca Chips Did Things Differently

We didn’t build Vaca Chips to blend in with the sea of “better-for-you” snacks on shelves.
We built it to stand out — by going back to basics:

  • No weird starch blends

  • No seed oils

  • No fake flavorings or “natural” additives

So yeah - you won’t find us chasing trends. You’ll find us respecting tradition and dialing up the crunch with the fat your body and taste buds were made for.


Paleo Chips That Actually Make Sense

Tired of snacks that say paleo but are still fried in canola oil?
Yeah, us too.

Our chips are 100% free from seed oils. Whether you’re eating clean for performance, gut health, or just to feel better- this is a snack that fits.

This Isn’t Just Better for You, It’s How Chips Were Meant to Taste

Most “healthy” chips leave you bored, bloated, or reaching for something else 10 minutes later.
Vaca Chips deliver satisfying crunch, deep flavor, and real nutrition in every single bite — because that’s what happens when you use real food and real fat.
