Where to find beef tallow/fat in Montreal?

Grass-fed would be preferred and I am willing to drive far.

Thank you in advance!

    I bought some years ago at Boucherie de Paris in CDN. Comes in big vac packed blocks. Very yummy for fries!

    Pretty sure it's not grass-fed. Pure grass-fed beef is virtually non-existent here according to most of the threads on this board. Sure, some cattle is pastured in summer, but come winter corn is on the menu.

      Thank you a lot! I just called the shop and they asked me if I need 30kg.....

      Well, they do sell small packages. Here's their address, in case someone also searches for it in the future.

        We split some interesting discussion about cooking fries in Tallow over to the Home Cooking board at: http://www.chow.com/topics/847281 so that people from all over would see it.
