The main objective of the CCBI is to trace and enhance the entire production chain of Italian beef cattle, to offer greater guarantees to consumers, to ensure maximum transparency and services to breeders at every single stage of the supply chain.

The Chianina Laziale

Precisely because of its size, the Chianina cow cannot be subjected to intensive farming.

Must graze in the open air, graze the grass and eat selected feeds.

These are the precautions that make Chianina meat special

Thanks to the genuineness of what it feeds on and the selected feeds, its meats are so prized.

The best Chianina meat is obtained from the female of the animal, both for its tenderness and for its not too large size, it is rather lean with some infiltrations of fat close to the muscles that give it flavor.

COSTATA AND Fiorentina of Chianina, HOW TO RECOGNIZE THEM?

An rib with bone has always been Florentine They are not the same thing.

Both are derived from sirloin steak, that is the muscle mass that covers the back of a bovine, a kind of cylinder of flab interspersed with the ribs. By slicing it from one end or the other, the different cuts are obtained.

from front of the loin are obtained steaks without fillet: it's ribs with bone (photo on the right). From the rearinstead, they are obtained steaks with tenderloin and sirloin: they are the classics Florentine (photo on the left).

The Fiorentina has the Fillet, while the Costata only sirloin

It is the fillet that makes the difference

The Florentine has a bone T-shaped (in Anglo-Saxon countries it is called "T-bone steak"), Consisting of half the vertebra.

The rib bone, on the other hand, does not form a T, but is thicker, since the anterior ribs are larger in size.
