Carne Barrosã

This meat is taken from from Barrosã cows, a native breed found in the districts of Viana do Castelo, Braga, and Vila Real on the Barroso plateau in northwestern Portugal, where they are raised mainly on family operated farms. Carne Barrosã is pink to dark red in color depending on the age of the animal.

The meat is succulent, tender, and delicate, which makes it perfect for grilling or roasting. It is also an irreplaceable ingredient in traditional regional dishes such as Assados or Estufados.
