ONLY THE BEST SELECTION FROM US
A necessary choice for us at CO.BE.CA. was made in 2016. We decided to go back to our roots by investing, through the natural partnership with the other family business, CASCAREA, in the creation of our own heifer farm located in the countryside of Corato. We therefore chose the French breed Charolaise, the female bovine better known as the heifer, famous throughout the world for its excellent meat. We purchase and raise them in semi-open environments; the feed, a key element in the quality of our beef, guarantees our products the tasty and genuine flavour of meat from times past.
We feed our cattle with premium, strictly non-GMO cereals and hay.
We purchase our cattle at 8/10 months of age and slaughter them within 6 months. Furthermore, we do not use any type of antibiotic medication throughout the finishing period, i.e., for the entire six months the animal is with us.
The current facility, built according to the latest quality standards and designed primarily for animal welfare, currently has a capacity of about 120 head. By the end of 2019, we plan to increase our investment in heifer breeding with the construction of a new paddock that will bring the number of farmed animals to approximately 300.
With the authorization of the Ministry of Agricultural Policies, our beef is obtained in accordance with regulations that govern the entire supply chain. These regulations, in fact, set very high parameters regarding animal welfare:
– breeding and feeding conditions;
– slaughtering:
– production process, processing, and traceability of animals;
Our certification is valid for the entire supply chain: from raising the animals in our barns to processing the meat at our facility.
