Vadehavsstude PGI

Origin: Denmark
Vadehavsstude PGI

Vadehavsstude PGI is fresh beef meat specifically from the Wadden Sea islands in the Jutland region of Denmark. The meat come from young cattle from the Holstein breed, making it more tender, fragrant, and succulent than standard beef, with a slightly saltier flavour.

The unique flora of the geographical area gives the meat its distinctive flavour. During the wintertime, the Holstein cattle graze in the region’s salt meadows on grass and maize silage for at least four and a half months a year. When the area is flooded at high tide, salt and minerals are deposited in the soil, making it particularly wholesome for the cattle to graze on.

Vadehavsstude PGI can be enjoyed roasted, diced, and simmered in a hearty stew, or paired with herby potatoes and roasted root vegetables.
