Our 80/20 Grass-Fed Ground Beef is made from ground chuck which comes from the Chuck primal, a large section at the front of the cattle that includes the neck, shoulder and upper portions of the chest. Chuck meat is relatively high in connective tissue and fat, which contributes to a rich flavor and tender, juicy grind.
For centuries, Uruguay has been at the forefront of sustainable cattle ranching, long before “sustainability” became a buzzword. Sitting atop one of the largest freshwater aquifers on Earth and free of environmental pollution, its vast pastures are the perfect environment for raising cattle. Here, we partner with small family farms, where gauchos meticulously care for both their herds of Black Angus cattle and the treasured pastures they graze on. The cattle spend their entire lives grazing exclusively on this nutrient rich grass. The end product is a rich and tender beef, leaner than its grain-finished counterpart and high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
