A triacylglycerol based wax, which includes a triacylglycerol component and a polyol fatty acid partial ester component, and a candle made from a triacylglycerol based wax are provided. The triacylglycerol-based wax generally has a melting point of about 60° C. to 66° C. and an Iodine Value from 10 to 20. The triacylglycerol component generally has a fatty acid composition including about 5 to 15 wt. % 16:0 fatty acid. The triacylglycerol component generally has a fatty acid composition including about 75 to 85 wt. % total saturated fatty acid. Further, the triacylglycerol component generally has a fatty acid composition including about 65 to 80 wt. % 18:0 fatty acid. The wax can be made into particulates, and is generally free of paraffin and free fatty acids.
