I suspect tallow or some sort of oil is used to make parchment non-sticky, but silicone is probably used instead to achieve nonstickiness (unless it is more expensive). Curiously this French parchment is more pliable and was half the price of parchment made in North America, despite the shipping. An 80 yr old friend always complained about American parchment being stiff and noisy (like cellophane) and preferred European parchment.
