Hello everyone, I am Roberto, the Master Butcher of Fierro Food, a Milanese butcher shop that specializes in selling fine cuts from around the world. Today I want to talk about the importance of eating quality meat, how to recognize it and how to choose it.
What makes a quality cut of meat
The quality of meat depends on several factors, including husbandry, nutrition, animal welfare, and the method of slaughter. Quality meat comes from animals that have been raised in a healthy and natural way, without the use of hormones and antibiotics. Animals must have been fed a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, with access to open space to move freely.
Animal welfare is also an important factor in the production of quality meat. Animals must be treated with care and respect during their lives, and the slaughter method must be ethical and respectful.
Finally, the cutting of the meat must be expertly done so that a high-quality piece of meat with the right amount of fat and muscle tissue is obtained.
How to recognize quality meat
It is easily recognized by its unique texture and flavor. It has a firm and compact texture, with no soft or rubbery parts, and a uniform and bright color. In addition, its flavor is more intense and tasty, the balance between sweetness, saltiness and naturally true meat flavor.
To choose a quality cut, it is important to look for a trusted butcher who has a good knowledge of the various types of meat and is able to recommend the right cut for different culinary needs. It is no coincidence that Fierro Food’s Master Butchers know each cut to perfection, and can always recommend the perfect one for each type of need.
what are the benefits
Eating quality meat can bring numerous health benefits. It is leaner and contains less saturated fat, cholesterol and calories than low-quality meat. It is also richer in essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, which are important for heart and brain health.
Choosing quality, means making an ethical and environmentally sustainable choice. Factory farms are often responsible for a number of environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, deforestation and the emission of greenhouse gases. In contrast, extensive livestock farms, from which the vast majority of high-quality meat comes, are synonymous with respect for the environment, for the animal that gives us a delicious product, and, of course, for the consumer as well.
Choose to eat well, choose the high quality of Fierro Food, which has guaranteed only the best for its customers for 3 generations.
