Naturally raised
We select our animals in their natural surroundings according to strict standards. The animals are raised in the ideal climatic conditions, live in practically boundless pastures with access to clean water and a rich selection of juicy grass and herbs.
These are animals that are exclusively raised for meat production in their natural and appropriate environment.
The breeders explicitly and verifiably renounce concentrates, hormones and feed additives.
Monitored processes
As a rule, prime cuts for the “Grande” brand are only selected from animals that themselves have been selected according to strict quality requirements.
Both the origin of the animal as well as the later prime cuts can be traced at any time.
Breeding and selecting the animals is constantly monitored on site by quality managers. The abattoirs, where the animals are sent after a maximum, stress-free travel time of 4 to 8 hours, are certified according to EU directives and are monitored by state veterinarians. The abattoirs are just as strictly monitored as the transportation. Just like the modern operations themselves, the transportation of course fulfils D&H’s high quality and hygiene requirements.
KONTROLLIERTE BETRIEBE
Grundsätzlich werden für die Edelteilstücke der „Marke Grande“ nur Tiere ausgewählt, die nach strengen Qualitätsanforderungen ausgesucht werden. Sowohl die Herkunft, als auch die der späteren Edelteilstücke können daher jederzeit zurückverfolgt werden. Die Aufzucht und die Auswahl der Tiere werden vor Ort von Qualitätsmanagern ständig überprüft. Die Schlachthöfe, in die die Tiere stressfrei nach maximal 4 bis 8 Stunden gebracht werden sind nach EU-Richtlinien zugelassen und werden von staatlichen Veterinären überwacht, entsprechend streng wie die Transporte. Diese, wie die modernen Betriebe selbst, erfüllen selbstverständlich auch den hohen Qualitäts- und Hygieneanspruch von D&H.
Prime cuts
Prime cuts are butchered for D&H according to specific cut styles. This means that the later cutting of individual steaks is already prepared and the amount of waste is significantly reduced.
Selection, cut and monitoring guarantee that our customers always receive a top-quality range of the world’s best meat.
High-quality nutrition
The transportation time of our high-quality meat is calculated exactly and corresponds precisely to the essential ripening process of this prime foodstuff, thus creating both the typical distinctive aromatic flavour as well as the desired tenderness.
For rapid transportation by plane, the ripening process is adjusted. Thanks to it being vacuum packed and subjected to an uninterrupted cooling chain, the meat can easily be kept for up to 5 months without loosing any of its high quality.

Gentle transportation
The professionally butchered prime cuts are packed and sealed in special vacuum packaging and carefully labelled according to all regulations. The packages are then carefully stored in refrigerated containers, chilled to between -1°C and +1°C and sent to Europe by ship. This type of transport across the Atlantic and the Pacific is carried out carefully, punctually and reliably by the scheduled service offered by the liner shipping company Hamburg Süd.
Packaging
In order to guarantee the quality and soundness of our meat, D&H has always taken particular care when it comes to its packaging. But that’s not the only reason. Corresponding value has also been placed on the look of the packaging so as to whet customers’ appetites.
D&H packaging must guarantee the shelf life of its contents, but it should also serve to boost recognition value and familiarity at first glance.
