Vellum Street Soap Company - Tussock Sedge Farm

About Vellum Street Soap Company

Vellum Street Soap Company was founded in 2015 by Melissa Lynn Torre, a professional chef whose interests in nutrition, food sustainability, and traditional ingredients led her from the kitchen into tallow-based skin care.

Read More About the Producer

Melissa applies a chef’s understanding of ingredients and formulation to products made with purposeful, food-grade materials. Vellum Street dry-renders tallow slowly at low temperatures rather than using a water-based purification process.

The collection includes tallow soap, whipped Fat Marshmallow cream, lip balm, shampoo bars, sunscreen, and other seasonal skin-care products. Vellum Street sources from small regional farms and food businesses, putting valuable materials to use that might otherwise be discarded.

Our relationship is especially direct: Vellum Street uses beef tallow rendered from Tussock Sedge Farm suet in its products. This helps us honor the whole animal and turn a nutrient-rich traditional ingredient into useful, locally made body care.

Why We Carry Their Products

We carry Vellum Street because Melissa combines genuine skill, ingredient transparency, and low-waste local sourcing. The partnership also creates a meaningful second life for tallow from our own cattle, connecting the finished product directly back to our farm.
