Organic, Pasture-for-Life Salted Spiced Beef

A limited use of Nitrites (and also Nitrates), is permitted under Organic Regulations (https://www.soilassociation.org/media/25988/sa-gb-food-drink.pdf ref SA GB 6.4.2), allowing up to 80 parts per million in the cure.  We use considerably less than this in our own bespoke cure (less than 10ppm). The post-curing and post-cooking tests that we have undertaken demonstrate the significant reduction of residue in our cured products. Additive residue and cure accelerators used by industrial scale curing is the health issue with quantities used up to 250ppm.

DID YOU KNOW? 

Our beef is certified as Organic and Pasture-for-Life. Organic and Pasture-for-Life beef has been proven to be an important source of Omega 3 and more nutrient dense in comparison to “conventionally” fed Beef which is part-grain/cereal and part-grass fed. 

The research paper can be found here.* 

“Whilst differences between non-organic and organic systems are not new, this is the first record of the extra benefit if cattle are fed 100% -forage diets throughout their life. Their meat ought to be recognised as a ‘source of long chain n-3′, especially relevant for societies with limited fish consumption.” 

*Our beef was used in the trials 

Feed additive-free and Bovaer-free beef. Organic and Pasture-for-Life standards prohibit the use of Bovaer.
