Not every great beef program is built around maximum marbling.
Certified Piedmontese gives Fairway customers an entirely different option.
The Piedmontese breed originated in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy and is known for a genetic characteristic that contributes to exceptionally lean yet tender beef. Today, Certified Piedmontese cattle are raised primarily on family ranches throughout Nebraska and the Midwest.
The program places a major emphasis on traceability. Cattle are individually tracked using electronic identification, while third-party verification provides additional accountability throughout production.
For chefs and consumers looking for a leaner beef option without giving up the tenderness expected from a premium steak, Certified Piedmontese occupies a unique position in Fairway's portfolio.
