Coalvi - Carrù (CN) - Piedmont

Coalvi · the Consortium for the Protection of the Piemontese Beef · works for the enhancement of meat from Piemontese breed. The consortium checks, ensures and certifies, through voluntary labeling, that the meat comes exclusively from Piedmontese cattles born, reared and slaughtered in Italy. The consortium counts 1,300 small farms in southern Piedmont, almost all of which are family-run and are dedicated to the breeding of Piedmontese breed cattle according to a strict discipline that protects the entire supply chain and guarantees a gradual fattening of the cattle and a diet rich in cereals and fodder. The Piemontese breed is the most important Italian beef cattle breed: its meat is considered one of the most valuable thanks to its excellent nutritional and dietary characteristics, it is in fact particularly lean, tender and tasty. Furthermore, it is a breed that lends itself well to a concept of sustainability of slaughter: the meats are not too rich in marbling and are very soft. This allows to optimize all the cuts of the bovine, both those of the rear perfect for the grill and those of the front more suitable for boiled meats and roasts.
