The Value of Manzo
Attempting to assign a value to the uniqueness of this beef is a challenge, as it stands unparalleled in every aspect compared to what's currently available. From its scarcity to its nutritional profile, tenderness, taste, and the meticulous care devoted to both raising the cattle and maintaining the farmland, this offering defies quantification. Indeed, there's nothing quite like it on the market.
Old-World Techniques & Modern Meat Science
Manzo marries nutrients with nourishment to orchestrate a gastronomic experience that shatters the walls boxing in the concept of beef and instead ushers in an epicurean encounter of a higher echelon. And it all begins with our old world techniques.
Singularly unique cuts of meat in the Piemonte style are delivered through the flawless blending of Old World Italian mastery and contemporary meat science.
The toughest selection of meat on a Piedmontese carcass is as tender as USDA Prime Ribeye. This type of whole-carcass tenderness opens up a world of possibilities that the people of Piemonte have perfected.
We cut each section according to the client’s preferences for steaks, roasts, ground, and bone. Exclusively available are Piemonte style cutting techniques that provide cuts previously unavailable in North America, allowing for the creation of cooked dishes never before experienced on our shores.
Considerate Feed Sourcing
A ruggedly beautiful region, the Northern Palouse region of the Pacific Northwest is rich in agricultural heritage. The cattle are raised on a locally harvested high fiber diet consisting of dryland alfalfa, grasses, peas, barley, and grape pomace that further enhance the naturally lean and tender texture. The dry, arid climate of the region, along with the sandy loam soils and high elevation, contribute to a distinct flavor profile in the meat that is subtly sweet, yet complex and truly unique to this location.
Nutritional Value
For decades, one of the hallmarks of the Piedmontese breed has been nutrition of the meat. Cardiac institutions around the world have consistently evaluated Piedmontese meat as ‘heart healthy'.’ It is a great source of protein and Omegas, while being low in total calories, calories from fat, total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol (especially low in ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol). It is truly impressive how favorably it compares to skinless chicken, skinless turkey, and even salmon.
Our beef undergoes meticulous laboratory testing and analysis by accredited third-party professionals to ascertain its nutritional composition. Comprehensive reports detailing these findings are readily accessible upon request, ensuring transparency and fostering confidence in the exceptional quality of our product.
An Exclusive Rarity
Manzo Piedmontese is the only beef label in North America to exclusively offer fullblood Piedmontese meat. All of our animals are verified by the North American Piedmontese Association (NAPA) through DNA tests to prove parentage and pedigree as fullblood 100% Piedmontese.
