What Is A Tallow Candle?
A tallow candle is a type of candle made from animal fat. In the past, tallow candles were commonly used for lighting before electricity was invented. They were made by melting animal fat and pouring it into a mold with a wick. Tallow candles were often smoky and had an unpleasant smell due to the impurities in the fat. Today, tallow candles are not as common as they once were, as other types of candles with better quality and scent have replaced them.
