We think our English Longhorn Beef is the best in the world, here's why...

Full of flavour

English Longhorn Cattle are renowned for producing beef with unrivalled flavour. Our pasture-fed Longhorn beef is lean with a distinctive marbling of fat that gives it a succulent texture and depth of flavour. It is aged for at least 28 days, which concentrates and enhances the natural buttery, nutty flavour while ensuring a tender texture.

“The Longhorn has it all for me – marvellous moisture and juiciness, alongside a firm but giving texture.” Heston Blumenthal, Chef.

Healthy

Longhorn cattle are scientifically proven to produce healthier meat with various health benefits resulting from their grass-fed diet and ability to graze on multiple vegetation. A trial by Bristol University concluded that heritage native breeds reared on unimproved pasture produce beef of a “high nutritional value”.

Longhorn beef is proven to be lower in saturated fats and higher in antioxidants, omega 3, CLA, iron, zinc, beta carotene, and vitamins E and B than regular beef.
