ABERDEEN ANGUS – A PROFILE

For centuries Aberdeen Angus has been regarded as arguably the most prestigious cattle breed throughout the world, renowned for producing beef of superior eating quality, succulence and tenderness.

Matured longer for extra tenderness and succulence, the beef is hand selected by experienced butchers and cut just at the right time to ensure impeccable meat texture and quality. The silky texture of Aberdeen Angus beef is guaranteed by a fine thread of marbling interwoven throughout the beef; this means that Aberdeen Angus beef truly provides the ultimate meat eating experience.

And this new Aberdeen Angus range features cuts that provide the perfect solution to every day meals as well as catering for a special occasion; a family gathering or a dinner party that requires just that little bit more!
