Vicentico is a Spanish company specialising in the selection and distribution of high-quality Iberian meat with a focus on local supply chains and traditional farming methods.

Its activities are focused on production linked to the territory, emphasising native breeds, sustainable practices and processing that pays attention to the quality and origin of the products.

Galician beef, marketed under the Vaca Loura® brand, comes from cattle reared freely in the Galician region, belonging to the Rubia Gallega and Blonde d’Aquitaine breeds. The animals are fed naturally, following traditional practices.

The Castilian red pig is descended from the Duroc breed. The quality of its meat is guaranteed by a controlled, balanced and natural diet, without any montañera period. The meat is distinguished by its marbling, texture and intense flavour.

Scotland evokes the image of lush pastures and unspoilt nature. And it is here that the Aberdeen Angus breed has found its natural environment for centuries.

Caledonia Crown was founded in Scotland in 1988 and has been committed to safeguarding the Aberdeen Angus breed and promoting its propagation ever since.

Caledonia Crown exclusively utilises cattle born, reared and slaughtered in Scotland and certified per the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) guarantee.

The cattle are reared over an extensive area, in a natural and healthy environment, then slaughtered within 36 months to ensure tenderness, juiciness and a balanced structure. Each cut is selected according to precise parameters – fine marbling, pearly white fat and long dry-aging on the bone.

Consistent with its vision, Caledonia Crown adopts responsible practices geared towards sustainability and a respect for the environment, natural resources and local communities.

For 150 years, Rougié has strived to guarantee the highest quality of its products and to support chefs all over the world. Founded in Sarlat in 1875, the company has constantly evolved and continues to guarantee the excellence of its duck, goose and fishing products.

Almost 400 family farms located in the south-west and west of France ensure complete control of the supply chain. Rougié ducks are born, raised and slaughtered in France, having access to the open air even beyond the mandatory regulation period.

Since 2014, breeders have started a process of demedicalisation, eliminating all preventive antibiotic treatments. Today, Rougié guarantees that 100% of its fresh foie gras and duck breasts come from ducks reared without antibiotic treatments from birth. This initiative, certified by an independent body, is unprecedented in the foie gras sector.

Over the decades, Rougié has been able to preserve its know-how by integrating the latest technologies to meet the most exacting requirements. This ability to combine tradition and innovation has enabled Rougié to become a privileged partner of the greatest chefs.

150 years of history and experience confirm Rougié as an emblem of gastronomy for France and the world.

Pura is Selecta’s latest project dedicated entirely to the selection of sirloin.

A collection of top-quality sirloin, guaranteeing the origin, selection and transparency of the animals and the appreciation of the work of those who breed cattle and care for the land.

Origins. Animal welfare comes first. All cattle entering the Pura collection must be born, bred and slaughtered in the same geographical area, availing of methods that respect the animal’s life and its rearing.

Selection. Thanks to Selecta’s long-standing collaboration with numerous beef suppliers, the characteristics that each individual animal from which the loin is derived must have were defined as: nutrition, conformation, fat, through to maturation in dedicated rooms with controlled temperature and humidity.

Transparency. Pura animals are accompanied by the Label of Origin, in which all characteristics of the animal are highlighted. All is additionally marked with the Pura seal, stating the breed of animal and its origins, as a guarantee of product quality.

Nature’s Meadow is synonymous with quality and excellence. The animals are reared utilising traditional methods handed down through the generations, supported by the continuous improvement of the production process.

Reared on traceable and sustainable farms, the cattle are left for most of the year to graze on pasture so they may feed on fresh grass rich in nutrients and vitamins. This strong link to the land and the predominantly pasture-based farming gives the meat a distinctive taste and unique flavour. Traditional maturation on the bone then allows for a concentration of flavours, tenderness and an intense ruby colour, all combined with streaks of fat due to the natural marbling of the meat.

Nature’s Meadow is distributed exclusively in Italy by Selecta, being able to select only the finest products from the best Irish farms.

La Piemontese is the line of meat from Piedmontese breeds of cattle certified at their origin by the Consorzio di Tutela della Razza Piemontese (COALVI) in accordance with specifications recognised at a European level.

First and foremost, the breed of La Piemontese means quality but also culture and tradition, preserved and handed down through the generations on family-run farms that, with their very presence, contribute to the preservation of the typical landscape, from high-altitude pastures to low-lying meadows.

The superiority of La Piemontese meat is primarily attributable to the breed’s genetic characteristics – indeed, the muscular structure of La Piemontese breed of cattle is so special that it manages to be tender with a particularly low fat content.

Frisian comes as the result of a more than ten-year collaboration between Selecta and Ekro. The brand guarantees the protection of animal welfare, along with the quality of the meat, the offal cuts and the trimming (cleaning) of the same.

Frisian is a clear point of reference when it comes to the Friesian breed and the macro-region of Frisia (located between Holland, Denmark and a fraction of northern Germany), as the historical cradle of calf-breeding and still one of the world’s leading producers to this day.

Since 1952, Ekro has been a guarantee of quality, overseeing the entire production cycle whilst ensuring animal welfare, feed safety and environmental sustainability.

The meat itself is finely marbled and enriched with high levels of naturally occurring Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats. It offers excellent health attributes, as well as unrivalled tenderness, texture and taste.
