BASQUE BUTCHER'S SHOP
Do you like good meat produced by farm producers and raised outdoors? Our Basque butcher's shop specializes in meat from local breeds and farm production. We will be happy to delight you with our selection of Basque meat.
FRESH MEAT FROM THE BASQUE COUNTRY
Because many of you appreciate Basque products, Freskoa has selected for you producers who share our values and offer products of remarkable quality. Our ambition is to become your favorite Basque butcher's shop. As availability increases, don't miss out on our butcher's cuts because quantities are limited; we do not compromise on the quality of the meat that we offer in the Freskoa Basque butcher's shop and refuse mass supplies.
ORGANIC MEAT
For our Basque butcher's shop we favor the choice of organic meat because beyond the known criteria concerning livestock feed it guarantees maximum animal well-being thanks to the breeding rules to be respected.
BEEF
The beef selected by us is delivered vacuum-packed. To guarantee the cold chain, your pieces of beef will be shipped with Chronofresh directly from your Basque butcher's shop Freskoa.
ORGANIC FARM-FARMED BEEF:
We offer you excellent pieces of organic farm beef from the Casta, Pireneika or Béarnaise breeds in our Basque butcher's shop. This beef has been selected directly from farm producers in the Basque Country. This desire to offer you exceptional Basque products is reflected in limited quantities depending on the animals available. In order to offer the best of Basque meat in our butcher's shop, we have chosen not to work with cooperatives in order to preserve a close relationship with each farm.
Organic farm beef entrecote
Have you chosen the entrecôte? Pan-fry or grill according to your tastes. As with any meat, don't forget to take your entrecôte out of the refrigerator so that it "regains its color" at room temperature. Resting at room temperature before cooking, just like resting time for the meat after cooking, will guarantee you a treat.
Organic farm beef steak
Our steaks are top-quality. It's up to you to fry or grill them as you wish.
Organic farmhouse roast beef
Roast beef in the fillet, to be sliced ready to be cooked by you. We offer you an original recipe in the product sheet for this piece of beef which reminds us of festive Sundays with the family.
Organic farm beef sirloins
A little less tender than the filet, the sirloin is often tastier. Avoid trimming it before cooking, the fat will nourish the meat so that it is tasty and tender. Butcher's tip, cut the fat around the edges of your sirloin to prevent it from twisting during cooking.
Organic farm beef bourguignon
Your favorite Basque butcher has prepared packets for you allowing you to prepare beef bourguignons or stews from a piece of beef to be simmered, including a low-fat meat such as chuck or rump, a gelatinous meat such as rump or tail, a streaky meat, therefore a little fattier, such as brisket or short ribs.
BASQUE PORK
Basque pork, Basque black pork, Bayonne, Ibaiama, Kintoa… it is sometimes difficult to find your way around? Bayonne and Kintoa correspond to PGI and AOC for ham for the first and for all meat and charcuterie for the second. Bayonne ham is made with white pigs, the PGI covers a vast territory ranging from the Adour basin to the Hautes-Pyrénées. Ibaiama ham is also made with white pork but on a restricted territory in the Basque Country and matured for longer. The Basque black pig is a local species, also called Basque pig or black pie. The Kintoa pig is a Basque black pig raised in compliance with the specifications of the AOC Kintoa.
ORGANIC FARM BASQUE PORK
Born and raised on farms in the Basque Country, Basque pigs produce tender and tasty meat. We recommend cooking it pink.
KINTOA
In the ancient kingdom of Navarre, straddling the French and Spanish sides of the Basque Country, the Aldudes Valley and Kintoa form the Country of Quint or Quinto Real. It is said to have been called "Kintoa" after the tax that the Kings levied on the pigs that came there in transhumance from all over the Basque Country.
Born in the Aldudes Valley, the AOC Kintoa designation of origin has restored the nobility of peasant breeding of Basque pigs and saved this breed from extinction. One of the secrets of Kintoa is the time devoted to both breeding and refining the salted meats to obtain a Basque product of exceptional quality.
KINTOA PORK
Our Basque butcher's shop allows you to enjoy Kintoa pork everywhere in mainland France (except Corsica) in the form of fresh meat, various cured meats and charcuterie. Choose your piece from the Kintoa pork butcher, we prepare your package and send it to your home in compliance with the cold chain with Chronofresh. For an order placed before 1 p.m. it will be delivered to you the next day before 1 p.m. Nothing could be simpler with your online Basque butcher's shop Freskoa.
Kintoa pork loin chop
Coming from the loin, the meat of the Kintoa pork loin is redder and more marbled than other cuts of pork. Cooked over high heat, braised or roasted, its marbling makes it a tasty and tender meat, a real treat.
Kintoa pork loin chop
With leaner and lighter meat than its cousin cut from the loin, the Kintoa pork tenderloin requires gentler cooking, in a pan or grilled after a possible marinade.
Kintoa Pork Tenderloin
A choice cut in any Basque butcher's, Kintoa pork tenderloin is tender, low in fat and can be cooked in many ways, pan-fried, baked or braised. Cooked whole or in medallions, its very fine flesh will delight young and old alike.
Kintoa Pork Sausage
Who doesn't have childhood memories of a family meal around a plate of sausages and mash? The flavor and cooking juices of Kintoa pork sausages will transport you back to your childhood. Even more so if you dig a small well in the homemade mash to pour in a little of this succulent juice.
Kintoa Pork Pudding
Here is our guilty pleasure. Accompanied by apples or mashed potatoes, we love to enjoy a black pudding cooked over the embers on the fireplace. The crispy skin and the tenderness of the flesh make Kintoa pork black pudding one of our Proust madeleines. Try it, and let us know what you think!
