CHIANINA
PIEDMONT FASSONA

Chianina

A real giant. Chianina is loved by gourmets from all over the world and comes from a breed that can weigh up to a thousand kilos. Its taste is legendary: it is a lean meat with small infiltrations of fat between the muscles that accentuate its unmistakable flavour and excellent digestibility. Its most famous and prized cut is certainly the Florentine steak.

Did you know?

The Chianina breed is one of the oldest in the world and has been bred in Italy for at least 2500 years. Beloved by the Etruscans and Romans, it was once also used as a working breed, but is now bred exclusively for meat production. The name comes from the Val di Chiana, its original breeding area. Its specimens are distinguished by their very white coat, black muzzle and long tongue.

Piedmont Fassona

Anyone who has tried it at least once knows that Piedmont Fassona is a compact, tender meat that is low in fat and, above all, rich in flavour. The fat content of this meat barely reaches 2% in some cuts, which is why its taste can be fully appreciated in every bite. The extreme tenderness of the Fassona is unparalleled: this is due to the reduced and weak connective tissue of this particular breed, which makes it very soft to chew.

These qualities make Fassona meat particularly suitable for raw consumption, whether as an excellent tartare or a knife-edge steak. However, the meat is just as good cooked in the form of a tasty hamburger or an appetising rib-eye steak.

Did you know?

The key to the tenderness of Fassona meat lies in a spontaneous mutation of myostatin, the protein that regulates muscle growth, which was first detected in 1886.

Thanks to this natural gift, Fassona cattle have developed big muscles and a very low fat content, which makes this meat not only delicious but also suitable for those who follow a healthy diet: it is indeed very low in cholesterol. The name Fassona derives from the French ‘façon’ which means ‘well-made’, referring to the particular muscular make-up of this breed.
