Avileña negra is an autochthonous cattle breed of the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, characterised by its perfect adaptation to take advantage of the resources of the environment in which it is present and its capacity to rear a calf in a calving interval of little more than a year. Central Spain mountain ranges such as Sierra de Gredos, Sierra de la Paramera, La Serrota, Sierra de Villafranca and Sierra de Avila is where you can find this authentic Spanish breed of cattle during the summer. 100% grass-fed cattle. The black Avileña cows are never stabled. If the weather conditions require it, extra hay can be fed exceptionally. This authentic Spanish breed produces extremely tasty meat. We select older cows that are over 8 years old with deep yellow fat and high degree of marbling. This a very unctuous meat that is smooth on the palate but holds strong aromas. Avileña negra is the main steak used in the preparation of Chuleton de Avila, a large 1kg rib steak cooked on the bone and served rare. HOW TO COOK A AVILEÑA BLACK IBERIAN RIB STEAK?
