The truth about fresh beef

Today direct - mail meat purveyors are touting the benefits of fresh beef as opposed to frozen beef. The truth? The term "fresh" is highly deceptive and is not necessarily a good thing. "Fresh" means the meat is not aged, however, the finest cuts of beef always need to be aged. Quite simply, aging is what makes meat tender and more flavorful, but once you age meat, it is no longer "fresh." Furthermore, so-called "fresh" selections can actually be inferior to professionally flash-frozen products. Here's why: If not used within 48 hours of receipt, never frozen cuts will begin to purge their natural juices, resulting in a less juicy product.

The bottom line? With proper handling, frozen and never frozen beef offer the same product quality. In fact, in years of blind taste-testing, chefs and home gourmets can't tell the difference between never frozen beef and beef that has been properly thawed from a properly frozen steak.

Whether you select never frozen or frozen is purely a matter of personal preference or convenience. If you plan to use your order within 48 hours, both our never frozen and frozen beef are suitable choices. However, if you plan to keep your order for longer than 48 hours, choose Allen Brothers' frozen beef, which has been specially flash-frozen to lock in moisture and preserve product quality. So shop carefully, and trust Allen Brothers to deliver only the best.

To ensure optimal freshness and quality, your never frozen beef is packed in its own box with special gel packs, then shipped priority overnight to your door. Separate shipping charges apply for frozen and never frozen items.
