What is Pincanha / tailpiece?

Picanha, a classic in Brazil, is also known as tailpiece in the Netherlands. The meat is located on the extension of the flat buttock, or the hind foot, just below the tail. The following applies here: the closer to the point, the softer the meat. Only two tail pieces can be cut from a beef, after all a beef only has two buttocks. In typical meat countries such as the USA, Argentina and Brazil, Picanha – or tail – is perhaps the number 1 barbecue meat. The meat has a layer of fat on one side, which ensures that it remains juicy and has a lot of flavor. Picanha is also fried in that layer of fat. In South America, Picanha has the status of tenderloin, but since well-known butchers - such as Ginger Pig in London - share their love for this meat with the world, the popularity of this meat is also increasing rapidly here. And rightly so! Picanha Black Angus USA is delicious meat with a great price/quality ratio!

Picanha Black Angus USA

This tail comes from grainfed USA Black Angus beef; whose origin you can certainly taste. Purebred Black Angus farmers follow the guidelines of 'Non Hormone Treated Caddle'; a guarantee that the animals are not administered hormones, preventive antibiotics or animal raw materials. The USA Black Angus cattle graze on extensive meadows and are fed only vegetable food (mainly grass, corn and grains), so they are raised in a natural and healthy way. Takes some time, but then you get something. Good quality beef simply requires good animal handling. But Picanha USA Black Angus is in a class of its own!
