How to Taste Beef

If you’re a lover of fine beef and want to enjoy the product more, Salvaje recommends that you start tasting it keeping in mind the following 3 characteristics: flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. With practice, you’ll be able to differentiate the different qualities and learn even more about your preferences for each cut. All Salvaje Products are rated by our quality team so that from the moment of your purchase you can know what characteristics to expect.

These are the 3 main characteristics we will rate according to each scale.

Flavor
Extremely weak to extremely intense

Tenderness
Extremely tough to extremely tender

Juiciness
Extremely dry to extremely juicy
