THE BEEF.
An extraordinary, Italian heritage breed...
The only breed known to carry the "double muscling" gene - a gene that would make even Hulk Hogan balk.
Besides shaping a magnificent animal - this gene also creates a beef containing LESS cholesterol and fat than poultry (we're talking leaner than skinless chicken breast!) while preserving an unparalleled tenderness and flavor. Personally speaking, the sirloin alone is comparatively tender to any filet I've had from any other breed.
Whether heart health conscious or not - this beef is
an excellent low cholesterol meat without sacrificing tenderness and
flavor.
Furthermore it is a rare and
valuable breed with a fascinating history- one whose migration to the
Piedmont of Northwest Italy can be directly traced all the way back to
the Late Stone Age. 25,000 years ago - when giant sloths and large
saber toothed cats roamed.
Fast forward to today, nestled in the lush rolling
hills of the Italian Piedmont, a small and discerning association of
farmers preserve one of the most pure and ancient bloodlines of modern
cattle. For the sake of posterity, these farmers maintain tight control
over this breed - resulting in the rarity of this beef outside of
northern Italy.
And so - from the Piedmont of Italy to the Piedmont of Georgia - we bring you "a cut above the rest" Grass Fed Piedmontese Beef from our very own, certified, Piedmontese sire - Al. It is some of the healthiest, most tender, succulent meat you can find!
