Carn d'Andorra

This beef of exceptional quality comes from the hardy, brown coated Bruna d'Andorra breed or from crosses between the cows of Bruna breed and bulls of the Charolais, Limousin and Gascon breeds.

All the cattle must be born, fed and reared within the designated geographical zone which includes the entire territory of Andorra, a tiny mountain principality settled in the eastern Pyrenees and landlocked between France and Spain. The animals are slaughtered and sold after a minimum period of eight months, and in order to comply with the standards of breeding in a stress-free environment, the maximum distance they can travel while being transported to the butchery is limited to 25 kilometers.

Due to the high quality mountain pastures and a specific fattening process which includes cereals and pulses, the tender, juicy and succulent Andorra beef is particularly prized and sought after.
