A. We use a premium delivery service, this costs a little more, but ensures your product arrives in the freshest condition and on time.
Storage: Your meat has arrived chilled and ideally should be kept at between 0°C and +3°C for maximum freshness. Most domestic fridges run at between +5°C and +7°C and therefore we recommend consuming your beef as soon as possible, as is normal with fresh meat.
Freezing: Your beef is ideal for freezing and should you wish to freeze it, do so when it arrives and consume, ideally, within 6 months. If you have bought a whole joint, we recommend that you consider cutting it up (e.g. into individual steaks, or smaller roasting joints) prior to freezing so that you can defrost to your needs and don’t have to ‘use up’ a whole piece. You must not re-freeze the meat once it has thawed.

Q. Why does the date on the frozen product show a best before date that has already passed?
A. Please note that some of our products, in particular 'Picanha' or 'Rump cap' arrive fresh and we then freeze them immediately, this is due to supply and demand. We like to try to have the products you like, when you want them .
The shelf life date inside the vacuum pack is the 'fresh' date and bears no meaning to the life of the frozen product. we give 6 months shelf life from the date of freezing.
We source all our beef from Argentina where possible. In the case of our 'bone in' cuts such as beef ribs, we source from a 30 day hung Scottish beast. All steaking cuts and joints off the bone are Argentine.
The optimum period is 6 months, after which the product will start to very slowly decline as the outer cell walls of the meat break down over time. You can keep product for up to a year without seeing any significant affectation to the quality of your product.
The effects of longer term storage are: a little shrinkage and possible freezer burn if the product is not protected with a covering such as a vacuum pack.
I will leave you with the following report from a client that rang us after finding a fillet at the bottom of her freezer after 3 years. She asked if it was ok to eat? We said try it and let us know....the report came back a week later that it was one of the best fillets she had eaten!!
the gaucho cowboys first developed the simple “churrasco” grilling style that would become sought-after throughout Brazil and, eventually, the world.
“The Pampas is the birthplace of the churrasco (shoo-haas-koh) barbecue,” Da Fonseca said. “The gaucho cowboys cooked outside, over the flames, on long skewers made of wood and metal.”
With the Labor Day holiday weekend looming and the backyard beckoning, grilling enthusiasts drawn to global flavors can take a tip from these gauchos when preparing their own feast of grilled meats.
Because the gauchos ate the tougher cuts of the grass-fed beef, they developed ingenious methods for tenderizing the meat. Da Fonseca brushes his beef with a Molho Campanha marinade, a salsa-like sauce made of onions, tomatoes, green peppers and vinegar.
“The vinegar flavors and tenderizes the meat,” Da Fonseca said. “The tomatoes and vinegar hit the flame, and there's a sweet and aromatic flavor that is infused into the meat.”
Being French you know that I'm fussy and look for the best. Your fillet steak was with out doubt the best piece of beef I have ever eaten. Thanks I will be back to order again.
