For us as a meat importer quality knows no frontiers.
Traditional countries of origin for high quality beef from prime steers, such as Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are well-known for their lush pasture and their favourable climate for best beef enjoyment. But Germany offers premium beef too.
We import tender lamb of the highest quality from New Zealand. But also from the EU and other neighbouring states which provide, next to best veal, tasty pork, tender poultry meat and excellent game from Germany.
