Have you ever wondered what makes a steak truly exceptional? It often comes down to the quality of the beef, and that’s where Certified Angus Beef shines. Let's explore what sets Certified Angus Beef apart, and why it’s a cut above the rest.
Let's dive into the fascinating journey of beef, specifically Certified Angus Beef. Understanding how beef moves from the ranch to your plate is crucial for making informed decisions, both as a business and as a consumer.
What is Certified Angus Beef?
Certified Angus Beef isn't just any beef. It's a brand known for its high quality and consistency. To earn the Certified Angus Beef label, beef must meet 10 exacting specifications that ensure superior marbling, tenderness, and flavour. This rigorous standard guarantees a premium dining experience every time. Gordon Food Service is the only broadline distributor in Alberta licensed to sell Certified Angus Beef.
Genetics and Marbling: The Key to Premium Beef
The greatest impact on marbling, which defines the quality of premium beef, comes from genetics. More than feed or environment, superior genetics lead to higher marbling and better beef quality. This focus on genetics is a cornerstone of the Certified Angus Beef program, ensuring consistent and exceptional flavour.
Alberta: The Heart of Canada's Cattle Country
Alberta is the heart of Canada's cattle country. From ranchers to feedlots, buyers, and processors, the beef industry is a vital part of our economy and food supply. This dynamic process ensures that world-famous Alberta beef reaches tables across Canada and around the globe.
Certified Angus Beef: Owned by the Ranchers
A unique aspect of Certified Angus Beef is that it is a non-profit organization owned by ranchers. When we purchase premium-spec beef, the value gap goes directly back to ranchers that raised the cattle. This supports local ranching families and ensures that the high standards of Certified Angus Beef are maintained. There are many ranching families across Alberta, highlighting the local and community-driven nature of the Certified Angus Beef program. Get to know the Bolduc’s at Cudlobe Angus.
