RAW MATERIAL
The quality of our products is guaranteed by the suitability of our people in the purchase process of the standing farm. Our buyers have many years of experience in the acquisition of raw materials. The selection is made between animals of British breeds such as Hereford and Aberdeen Angus raised in the Pampa Húmeda (Province of Buenos Aires, south of Santa Fe, south of Córdoba and north of La Pampa) where feeding is based on pasture, which provides animals with low percentage of fat, soft fiber, low cholesterol and unique flavor.
TRACEABILITY
Through a traceability system that accompanies the entire production chain, each of the cuts of meat can be monitored backwards through the detailed data on its labeling, identifying shipment details , type and origin of the animal , slaughtering , production and expiration date, among others. This system allows a complete production control.
CERTIFIED QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS
Each sections of the main production process is audited and controlled to meet the highest quality standards. From the reception to the sealing, labeling and cooling of cuts, an exhaustive control is carried out by the Quality Control Area and the direct inspection of SENASA.
