The
Piedmontese cattle breed emerged from Piedmont Italy, the alpine
region which is a secluded pocket, naturally protected by the
Alps. Two breeds of cattle, Aurochs and Zebu, through
natural selection, have evolved over the centuries to become the
Piedmontese breed - Italy's number one beef breed. In the
early 1980's the first Piedmontese were introduced to North
America. Because of America's desire to lower its total
fat content in their diets, the Piedmontese Beef has been an
increasingly popular option for many. The combination of
naturally lean meat with a tender texture and remarkable flavor
in many ways far out-paces competing breeds.
