Boeuf de Bazas

Boeuf de Bazas is fresh meat from the Bazadais or Blonde d'Aquitane breeds of beef, either cows, steers, or heifers born, reared, fattened and slaughtered in the Gironde and Landes regions in France. Every year, there is a beef festival in Bazas built upon the unique qualities of the meat, and the local butchers see a 30% increase in sales during that period.

The animals must be at least 36 months old before being slaughtered, and they feed only on grass and selected cereals. The meat is bright red, naturally well marbled, with a unique flavor, tender and savory with subtle hazelnut tones. It can be consumed roasted, grilled, cooked in stews, prepared as a steak with green pepper and traditional mustard and paired with a glass of red wine.
