Carne Barrosã hamburgers are made exclusively with Carne Barrosã. Barrosã meat comes from cattle of the Barrosã breed, an indigenous Portuguese breed, an emblematic reference in national beef. Ancestral inhabitants of the highlands of northern Portugal, these animals freely graze on common lands and marshes, in perfect conditions of animal welfare, enjoying the natural purity of these places, contributing significantly to the preservation of the mountain landscape, to biodiversity and for the sustainability of the region's rural economy. Barrosã meat has a very appealing bright red color, with a slightly moist and marbled appearance when cut. The combination of genetic characteristics associated with extensive dietary management and the exclusive feeding of calves based on breast milk, forage and cereals provide the early infiltration of healthy fatty acids into the muscle fibers, which gives them succulence, the unmistakable tenderness and flavor, of recognized international merit. This balanced wealth of omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids, low cholesterol content and an unusual abundance of antioxidants (B-carotenes and alpha tocopherols) together constitute an important source of health-promoting micronutrients. The rigorous food safety system implemented ensures the guarantee of authenticity and genuineness throughout the entire production chain.
