The Best Beef Quality of Argentina

Cows were first brought to Argentina in 1536 by Spanish Conquistadors. Due to the geography of the Pampas and a small national market, the cattle multiplied rapidly. Argentina has the world’s second highest consumption rate of beef,  with yearly consumption at 55 kg per head. Beef quality is dependent on the diet provided to cattle and their living conditions. The many breeds of cattle introduced to Argentina thrived in the pampas, grazing happily and often, resulting in leaner, more flavorful and nutritious beef. Whereas most American beef is grain fed, the bulk of Argentinian cattle feed on the plentiful grass, resulting in more omega-3 fatty acids
