While Belgium is known for its beer, chocolate and fries, Flanders produces another impressive delicacy that pays great homage to the country. Meet Flanders Beef, the beef that Belgians are proud of. Years of careful breeding result in an artisanal product that brings everything to the table, from texture to flavor to nutritional value. The Belgian people are globally represented by another top-notch product, for everyone to enjoy to the fullest.
Cattle reside on the wide-stretched fields of Limburg, located on the countryside of Flanders. Forests and other natural surroundings surround our Flanders Beef herds.
No hormones are used during the lifespan of our Flanders Beef cattle. Cattle reside in stress-free environments and receive the highest level of nurture.
Flanders Beef is rich in high biological quality protein, in vitamins B3 and B12 and in iron and zinc. Furthermore, our beef is very low in cholesterol.
Over 100 years ago, R. Reniers established a local butchery in Sint-Truiden, Flanders.
Luckily, his family legacy didn't vanish through time. Knowledge was passed on from generation to generation, which slowly but steadily gave shape to the foundation of our product.
Flanders Beef is the accumulation of countless years of finetuning the craft and striving for the best product there is to achieve, all with meticulous devotion that spreads over 3 generations.
Haspengouw is situated in the south of Limburg, also referred to as 'Flemish Tuscany'. The region is well known for its fertile soil and its specific, mild micro climate. It is the region that Flanders Beef cattle call home, where they peacefully reside their entire life span.
Next to Piedmontese, Belgian Blue is the only cow breed in the world that has the 'double-muscle' gene. This results in a particularly refined development of cattle's muscles, which finally results in an extraordinarily tender beef that is genetically impossible to match.
Only cows are eligible during the selection of Flanders Beef, which is the supreme gender in terms of tenderness and flavor. Furthermore, all cattle undergo a strict grading procedure. This process is carefully conducted by Flanders Beef officials, which ensures that our customers only get the highest quality label of beef on the market.
