tallow

The fat from cattle and sheep is known as tallow (French, suif; German, Taig). Sheep fat is rarely used for edible purposes because of the difficulty of removing its strong flavor and odor. It is widely used for soap and candle making and in lubricants.
Note from asker:
Thank you, Jack. Your explanation is good enough.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Jack slep : Since tallow can be bovine and ovine, I think "sheep" specifically is needed here.

mutton fat

Note that there are more specific terms that may be more appropriate if your context gets more specific:

"mutton suet"--If they are referring specifically to the hard fat extracted from the loins and around the kidneys

"sheep tallow"--If the suet has been rendered, then it would be sheep tallow.

mutton grease

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallow
The page says, tallow can relate both to beef and mutton, so I guess you should precise origine of the product
And as far as I understand, word 'grease' is often used instead of fat for technical purposes defining soft solid fat

If you're really into it, call it ovine adipose tissue - that sounds scientific and important. But it's still sheep fat..... Have you taken a bath recently in sheep fat? Yuk!
