CHARRA BEEF
by Victor Molino Garcia
Bio Plus from Spain

The Charra cattle that our long-standing Spanish friend Victor breeds in Salamanca are more than “organic” in the conventional sense. 

Even if this is pure speculation:
The Charra cattle that live here on these beautiful, expansive fields would probably get along well with their small counterparts, the Pata Negra pigs. They would, so to speak, be gourmets among themselves. Just like the pigs, the Charra cattle feed exclusively on their favorite delicacy: juicy acorns. In addition, the slender, elegant animals with long, curved horns a cross between Morucha and French Charolais cattle also feast on the grasses and herbs of Victor’s pastures. Instead of harvesting the acorns, the passionate farmer leaves them each year to the cycle of Mother Earth namely, to his animals themselves. As chairman of the “Ternera Charra” association, the “agricultor” lives his passion with body and soul. With his family-run farm and personally managed breeding, he vouches for a meat quality that is second to none thanks to its buttery, nutty flavor.
