Aberdeen Angus beef cattle originate from Scotland in the counties of Aberdeenshire and Angus; hence the name Aberdeen Angus beef! This beef breed is probably the most famous and Aberdeen Angus steaks are known to beef eaters across the world. It is considered one of the best breeds of beef because the meat is balanced, firm, fat, lean, and coupled with a delicate and prolonged, delectable taste too. The grass-reared Aberdeen Angus beef meat is also higher in Omega-3 and lower in fat. The lean part of the meat has an understated taste and touch, whilst the fat gives its own distinctive taste. So, there are definitely many benefits from buying free range, grass-reared Aberdeen Angus beef.
This is why we work closely with an Aberdeen Angus certified farm in the Orkney Islands.
