Charolais de Bourgogne

One of the oldest French taurine breeds, Charolais de Bourgogne beef cattle is indigenous to the wider Charolles area which is nestled between the rivers of Saône and Loire in Burgundy. The animals of this breed are large and heavy, white to cream-colored and either horned or polled.

The Charolais breed is well known for rapid growth and good muscling, as well as high meat yield and offers the industry with top quality beef that is rich in iron and low in fat. In modern day beef production, Charolais beef is butchered into more than 30 cuts, and it is an essential ingredient of Boeuf Bourguignon, a classic French beef and red wine stew.
