About Argentinean meat:
Young cattle, after their birth, start their life in our farms. They stay with their mother for about 8 months. This gives them all the anti-bodies they can get from their mother's milk and insures that they stay healthy without the need to use antibiotics. After their first 8 months, young veal are separated from their mothers and they start eating grass. At the "pampas" they are fed with a great variety of grass, mainly alfalfa and trefoil, without any chemical drugs and all the consequences of that.
We don't aim to use hormones or steroids to support the veal growth. The grass that the young veal eat, are full in proteins that is transformed in muscle tissue and not fat. Because of the fact that our young veal are on a natural diet, we don't need to give them artificial additives to support digestion as they are largely used in all conventional beef farms. A cattle that is grown on a conventional cattle farm is on a diet which consists of wheat, hydrocarbons and hormones that support growth and have no physical activity whatsoever (a normal practice in these units). This leads to a fast growth of fat and not muscle.
The unique combination of the distinguished Argentinean breed (ANGUS), the natural diet which we use to grow them and the beautiful environment of the Pampas all help to the fact that the product which reaches the customer is of superb quality, delicious, tender without any excessive fat and cholesterol.

Retail sales:
The best meat comes from Argentina. It is produced from cattle that grow up freely in the vast open areas -pampas- and offer the most delicious tasty and nutritious meat, which is considered to be low in cholesterol, fat and calories, with no chemical additives and hormones. It comes directly to FRIGO FOOD with the guarantee of the Greek family ZYMNIS.
The Argentinean pampas, one of the agriculturally richest areas in the world, with lots of rainfalls and smooth climate, guarantee the perfect environment for the production of meat of the highest quality. In the pampas, the young cattle grow up in their natural environment, without any chemically assisted growth.
The meat is fresh frozen up to -40°C, within 48 hours after slaughter under perfect sanitary conditions. In this way, it can preserve its freshness, its nutritional ingredients and all its vitamins.
Now you can choose one or more of the several family packs that FRIGO FOOD has specially prepared for you in their genuine packaging of 5 kilos each. Every pack can cover your family and household needs for several days. You can also take advantage of original cooking recipes with every order you place.
Defrosting
Take the meat out of the deep freezer and put it in the refrigerator for at least 20 hours before cooking, in order for the defrosting to take place as slow as possible. In case your deep freezer can go up to -18°C -20°C, then you can take it out of the freezer and place it at room temperature for a couple of hours and afterwards put it in the refrigerator until defrosted.
After the defrosting process is finished, you should unpack it and drain all the liquid content (repeat as many times as it is necessary). After defrosting, you can keep it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Before cooking time, Please take it out of the refrigerator and place the meat at room temperature at least one hour before cooking.
And....bon apetit!!!!!!!
Note:
a. If you are in a hurry, you can defrost it using your microwave oven (defrost) or in water, although we don't recommend such practice because the meat can loose its taste and juices.
b. You shouldn't defrost hamburgers before cooking.
