Health promoting technologies are
sought at every turn these days. We all want to be healthier and
reduce the risk of serious disease as far as possible.
Most of us, having tried many of the “health” foods
and remedies recommended, find the blandness or straight out
unpalatability of some of them too much!
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could tuck into a
tender, juicy piece of steak and know at the same time that we are
doing our heart good?
Well, you can if it is Piedmontese beef!
Numerous
tests have proven Piedmontese beef to be “healthy” beef. It
has considerably less cholesterol than other beef and lower
than some other foods recommended for lowering cholesterol.
That’s all ok you say, but it is probably tough.
Well if you check out the “research” page, you will find this is not
the case. In fact Piedmontese beef has been proven to be
more tender than other everyday beef on our supermarket shelves.

Ounce for ounce it has less cholesterol than pork,
chicken, turkey or even fish.
As for taste it’s terrific. You only have
to read the “growers…” page to see that the taste of Piedmontese
beef is one of it’s many attributes.
The numbers of Piedmontese cattle available for
beef production in Australia are still not large. You may have to be
very patient at this stage. However, asking your quality butcher
for Piedmontese beef will assist the process.
Let them know you want the best!
Also, ask at good restaurants if they have
Piedmontese beef on the menu. Italian Restaurants particularly
should be keen to serve Piedmontese beef.
