Fassona Forequarter Tenderloin
Piedmontese Fassona Adult Beef Tenderloin is a very lean and tender of the 100% Female Fassona Breed of at least 36 months old.
The meat of female cattle has natural fat marbling that makes it tender and tasty. The muscle fibers of female cattle are genetically more compact and juicier, characterized by a rich, round aroma that is never ferrous, with a perfect balance between sweetness and sapidity and an exceptional persistence, as well as hints of hazelnuts and hay.
Chef's Advice
Open the product under vacuum 1 to 2 hours in advance so that the meat is oxygenated, its original color is restored and it reaches room temperature.
On the grill, on fry-tops or in special ovens for meat cooking,
over very high heat on both sides and for very few minutes.
Allow it to rest on a grill for a few minutes before serving. Hot plates are recommended.
What makes the Fassona Breed special?
The history of the Piedmontese Breed dates back to the Paleolithic era, when wild cattle species merged with zebu herds from Pakistan. The new crossbreeding spread mainly in Italy, excellent for milk and meat, this breed was used as a working animal, a factor that influenced the genetics and ended up generating hypertrophy of the rump and thigh muscles.
