Selection of GALICIAN BEEF

All our Galician breed animals come from Lugo, province of Galicia, an area equipped with a geographical location and an ideal microclimate for the breeding of our animals. Rich, abundant and extensive pastures, with a humid and salty breeze due to their proximity to the sea, are the main staple of their diet.

These cows are raised in a traditional way, with an emphasis on feeding based mainly on corn and farm products that they find in their path. Since they are animals that can reach large dimensions, we prefer that they grow in large open spaces, where they can find their own food while performing exercises that ultimately directly influence the texture of their meat.

Its normal weight ranges from approximately 400k to 500k. However, due to the emphasis we place on their feeding, we obtain cows with higher weights of between 600 kg and 900 kg of live weight, on average for the cows we serve.

These cows have a minimum slaughter age between 8 years and a maximum of 12 years. It is precisely at these ages, when you can get the best fat hue, an infiltration of colors between white and yellow, as a limit tone, which gives us information about food. Cows tend to accumulate more fat in the back and leg areas. Being these the most demanded by the current market, although it is an animal of which each noble area is particularly exquisite and unique.

We can say that the infiltrated fat tells us the life story of our cow. Through the amount of fat and veins that are reflected in the meat, we will know the origin, diet and reproduction method used and in the environment in which it has grown (traditional versus industrial) (freedom versus cages). All of our animals grow in freedom, which is why we believe that you not only select and taste meat, but also taste the taste of freedom, a healthy diet, natural fats and unique textures.

So even though you only believe that meat gives you vitamins, it also tells you a story.
