Galician Whole Beef Fillet, Dry-Aged, Grass-Fed, 2.3Kg, Galician Beef, Filet Mignon, Tenderloin, Eye Fillet Reviews

4.8 Rating 301 Reviews

Our Galician Whole Beef Fillet is sourced from the highest quality beef in Galicia, Northwest Spain. We only use retired dairy cows between 8 and 12 years old, which are chubbier and have a higher fat content, giving the fillet a unique flavor. The beef is dry-aged for a minimum of 7 days, allowing for natural grass-fed marbling. This lean and tender cut is perfect for cooking as steaks or a roast, and is prized for its tender quality.

“Ordered a complete fillet steak, which the web site says already frozen it came next day but was fully defrosted not frozen, as we are over 70 years old and you are not supposed to re freeze something that’s been frozen and defrosted we cooked half of the 2.6kilo fillet and froze it and gave the rest away so it could be used straight away. I email BASCO using the contact page then because I didn’t get a reply email them again next day asking if it had been sent fresh or frozen and what advice could they give me. Still waiting for a reply from them some 4 days later. Poor customer service, very disappointed that I basically wasted my money and wouldn’t recommend this company. To be fair the beef fillet looked good and the young couple we gave half too said it tasted nice. Update on above I have just received a email saying they did reply to my first email and that the fillet wasn’t sent out frozen but fresh. I have check my spam/junk box and can’t find anything from them but I will give them the benefit of doubt and have changed my star rating for them. It’s true as they state I could have phone them but having spent hours onto other companies customer service lines I used their contact email to try to get a answer. The couple I gave have the fillet to say the meat was very nice and tasty, they had it for a dinner and then sandwiches with what was left. BASCO web site stated that the fillet was frozen and no where did it say otherwise if I had know they sent it out fresh I wouldn’t have given £30 worth of meat away. But they do seem to be a very good company and I accept what they say.”

Dear Stuart, Sorry the hear about your experience. Our whole fillet is sent fresh and not frozen, with plenty of date on the vac pac, so we are sorry to hear you thought it had defrosted in transit but that is not the case. As for your email enquiry, I can confirm we received your email on Wednesday 28th October at 17:28 and one of our colleagues responded 41 minutes later at 18:09 confirming the fillet was sent fresh. If our reply wasn’t read on ended in the wrong folder, our customer services team, who are available from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 16:30 would have been more than happy to clarify your query on the fillet at a grab of a phone. As for the quality of our fillet, this is something that we are very proud of, we are constantly receiving glowing 5 star reviews and the fact that the young couple you gave the fillet to said it was nice, should assure that we only work with quality products. If you do wish to consider us again, please contact us directly and a member of our team will gladly offer you some kind of compensation as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience caused. In addition, one of our team members will give you a call tomorrow to confirm on all this and forward you our reply. Kind Regards Basco

“Product received on time and perfectly packaged. Over 2.5kg in weight, labelled from Carsegal carnicería in Lugo (Galicia) , identified as old cow (maturation not defined ? would have been nice to know). Type of cow not defined ? (would have been nice to know “raza”) On opening of package the product was complete and not frozen, some trimming required but not extensive. Prepared in thick fillets, left to come to room temperature over 2 hours. Salted with Maldon, seared on each side to our preference of rare. On tasting, as expected, flavoursome and correct washed down with a nice bottle of Mauro. At this price it was well worth the purchase, this product doesn’t disappoint, to be repeated !!!”
