A Complete Cow

After years of sun exposure, working with horses, and countless attempts (and fails) at gardening, my skin is pretty worn out. But I’ve noticed a difference since using the natural tallow soap from A Complete Cow, my skin feels less stripped and much more nourished. The Ylang Ylang in Rampant Rose also adds a wee touch of everyday lux to my shower. These soaps also make the perfect gift—the branding and packaging are super cool, and the product itself really delivers. Definitely rate this and will absolutely buy again.

Complete Cow tallow soaps are all I use. I love that they’re made with tallow from cattle raised regeneratively with great consideration and care in the Wairarapa. Using a product with ingredients that have been produced locally and then made into soap by a local artisan is meaningful to me. The soap lasts well, works great, has fun names and smells excellent. The beautiful packaging makes it a great gift. Love your work Claire.

So the blue marble soap is very zingy and refreshing it reminds me of the ocean. The orange marble one has notes of lemon 🍋 and zest its soaps up well and leaves your hands silky smooth. The lighter orange bar with white on top has under tones of coffee and caramel. It’s sweet and warming, love this one. The last one pink marble is floral and groovey With top notes of spring time. So to summarize your soaps are my very favorite 😍 and they are fucken lovely…xxx

As a vegetarian of long standing, I have to confess that I was a bit reluctant to try beef tallow soap. However I love the way Claire farms with love and respect. Plus the idea of using every last bit of the beast made much sense to me. My vego soaps were often made with imported ingredients and I would rather support local. The soaps lather beautifully, don’t crack or turn into bloated flubbery blobs on the soap rack. They smell delicious and my skin loves them. No more cracked paws after cleaning up my haggard gardening hands. They make lovely gifts too, and everyone has a complete cow on their Christmas list who would surely love some soap!

I have sensitive/ acne prone skin and found your soap was really gentle on my skin, improved my acne and didn’t dry out my skin like other products.

I love getting creative with the meat from A Complete Cow. This has to be the best fillet steak in Wairarapa. And the super lean mince is so great as burgers, meatballs and kebabs!

You can literally taste the love and care you put into your animals!

“We had your fillet steaks last night but needed 2 more for our guests and grabbed them from the supermarket? Hands down there was no comparison, yours were superb”

Your meat is delicious and my husband said it was the best osso buco he ever tasted (and we had quite a bit).

This is a great source of more environmentally and animal-welfare friendly meat. And so nice to be able to go direct to a farmer rather than go to the supermarket! The delivery scheme is really convenient, if I’m not in I just leave a chilly bin just outside my house. The meat is very good quality and you get a range of different cuts each month, and can also request some extra things eg sausages.

The boxes are fantastic. The quality of the meat is as good as high-end restaurants. The variety each month has taught us a lot about how delicious all the different cuts of beef can be.

As a chef it’s nice to get a cut of meat where the animal has done some work – it creates beautiful marbling and flavour within the meat. Impressed with the generous portions and quality of the product. I would definitely use this in a professional kitchen if the opportunity came up!

We are really enjoying the meat, it’s heaps tastier than the supermarket stuff. We’re actually quite surprised how much nicer it is.

Honestly, I can’t tell you enough how amazing the meat tasted! We get so used to supermarket meat you forget what good meat tastes like. The kids said it was the best steak and meatballs they have ever had.
