Scottish beef , known for its exceptional quality, has long been one of the most sought-after meat products in the world. This meat comes from cattle reared on the lush, natural grass of Scotland, giving the meat a rich and distinctive flavor profile. Through strict controls and high standards of animal husbandry, Scottish meat gets its well-deserved reputation.
Scotch Prime represents the highest quality in Scottish beef. It denotes meat from animals that meet the strict criteria of the "Prime" grade, which includes:
- Marbling : An even distribution of fat throughout the meat, giving a juicy and tender experience.
- Tenderness : Scotch Prime is known for its excellent tenderness, making it a favorite among chefs and meat lovers alike.
- Taste : The unique combination of the animals' natural diet and Scotland's climate contributes to a robust and full-bodied taste.
To carry the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) , Scotch Beef, including Scotch Prime, must come from cattle reared, slaughtered and processed in Scotland. This ensures that consumers receive meat that is not only of the highest quality, but also comes from a region known for its sustainable and ethical farming practices.
