Weideochse vom Limpurger Rind

(Limpurger beef)

Limpurger cattle, also known as 'Leintäler beef', is the oldest breed of cattle in the German region of Württemberg. This breed got its name from Limpurg, a region with deep river valleys and the perfect climatic conditions for farming.


By the 19th century, Limpurger cattle were already renowned for their tender, juicy, delicious meat. It was transported even beyond the country's borders, where customers were willing to pay a significantly higher price for the high-quality meat. The demand for Limpurger beef still surpasses supply, and it is the region's top gourmet product.


It is distinguished by its particularly full flavor and its buttery-smooth mouthfeel. When pan-fried, Limpurger beef develops a slight sweetness and a delicate aroma of wild herbs. The fine marbling of the meat is due to the specific traits of the breed and its special diet.
