Argentina's beef industry boomed after Spanish conquistadors introduced cattle in 1536. The fertile Pampas and a small local market fueled rapid cattle multiplication. The invention of refrigerated transportation in the late 19th century further propelled beef exports.
Argentine beef's cultural significance shines through traditional barbecues and the iconic gauchos of the Pampas.
So, what makes Argentine beef exceptional? It's a winning combination of stressless, natural grass grazing, absence of artificial rush, and a healthier diet. Argentine cattle enjoy a grass-based diet, resulting in tender, flavorful meat. In contrast to beef of other provenance, grains and nuts are not a integral part of a cow’s diet, as they bring along health problems to the cattle, forcing the producer to resort to undesired antibiotics and hormones to keep the cattle healthy. With grass-fed beef we don’t have those problems.
Steak perfection Throughout the ages
Argentina, the land of tango and passion, has emerged as the fifth largest wine producer globally. Its wine journey began in 1557 when vine cuttings were brought from Spain. Initially focused on quantity, Argentina shifted gears in the 1990s to improve wine quality for export.
The picturesque regions of Mendoza, San Juan, and La Rioja, blessed with high altitudes and low humidity, offer ideal conditions for vineyards. Argentine winemakers embraced sustainable practices, cultivating grapes with minimal pesticide use and producing organic wines.
In 1868, Malbec arrived in Mendoza when French Agronomist Michel Pouget imported various grape varieties. This event is celebrated as "World Malbec Day" on April 17th. Remarkably, Argentina remained unaffected by the devastating Phylloxera louse outbreak in 1878, thanks to the vine clones sent back to their countries of origin.
Today, Argentine wines captivate the international scene with their bold flavors and velvety textures, carrying the spirit of Argentina in every bottle. Cheers to Argentina's lively wines! ¡Salud!
