Minimal waste, simple inventory management and products aged to perfection
complete a production and shipping process that has made Australian beef
famous for consistent quality.
Indeed, chilled Australian grainfed beef will age for a minimum of 40 days at
controlled temperatures before it reaches your location. This process enhances
the tenderness, taste and flavor of your product. Australian chilled beef achieves
at least 100 days shelf life when packed and stored correctly.
Because Australian beef arrives in lightweight boxes, you’ll enjoy easy inventory
management. Plus, all prime cuts arrive trimmed to specification and individually
vacuum packed.
