IBP (Tyson foods – United States of America)
WORLD STEAK CHALLENGE – 2018 SILVER
IBP is an iconic name known by meat professionals worldwide as the leading and highly innovative beef brand from the USA. The instantly recognizable “Green Box” is renowned in the industry in terms of quality and excellence.
Unique Flavour
The unique flavour of US beef from IBP is the result of generations of experience in raising and perfecting beef cattle breeds and feeding them on the farms and ranches on the Great Plains of the USA. The young cattle graze on the natural grasses for 12-15 months before being fed on a balanced and nutritious blend of grains and corn, which adds to the unique flavour profile and marbling for which US beef is justly famous
Level of Marbling
The level of marbling (silky, tiny threads of soft fat woven through the muscle) is a crucial factor in determining the beef quality and eatability. This is why IBP only uses beef of the top 3 quality grades available in the U.S. The marbling dissolves during cooking as a natural internal baste, which produces juicy, tender, and tasty steaks.
IBP Premium Quality
IBP premium-quality beef from the world’s largest beef processor exceeds our customers’ expectations. The tradition of trusted excellence is reinforced by the commitment to quality, service, and leadership in the industry. The product portfolio offers you an alternative to traditional steak cuts such as Ribeye, Sirloin or Striploin steaks and is perfect for a variety of menu applications.
Jack’s Creek – Premium Australian Beef
Jack’s Creek is a family-owned and operated ranch in Australia run by the Warmoll family, who emigrated from Ireland in 1852. Today the family ranch is situated on the Great Dividing Range, known for its temperate climate and reliable rainfall. Jack’s Creek is a third-generation agricultural family business where quality is passed through all organizational structures and processes: from the purchase of grain to rearing the animals and the special cuts of meat at the end. While at all times considering EU and halal regulations, the entire process is also monitored by audits, and each piece of meat can be tracked throughout the entire production and transport cycle.
What more could you want from your steak today other than sensational marbling, perfect texture, wonderful tenderness, and UMAMI flavour?
Black Angus steak is food culture at its finest. But a perfect steak can only come from quality beef produced under optimal conditions. Such is the case in the vast landscape of New South Wales, Australia, with its temperate climate, where experienced cattle breeders bring up their pure Black Angus cattle on his Jack’s Creek Farm by combining grazing and grain in their diet. The result is high-end meat featuring sensational marbling. Only the very best breeding lines from the region are used for breeding at Jack’s Creek Farm.
The animals are reared in two ways: at first, the young cattle graze idly on the green, hilly pastures among kangaroos, watched over by cowboys on horses. Later, in their second year, they are kept in vast enclosures called feedlots where they are fed at least 150 days’ worth of grain, bought from regional producers and guaranteed free of genetically treated organisms, growth-promoting additives or hormones. The grains consist of barley, oats and a bit of soy, but the animals are free to continue grazing. The way in which the animals are reared and kept create ideal conditions for a balanced life, thus producing high quality and healthy meet with the desired marbling.
If you think of a steak today, you think of Angus. This enormous popularity has a simple reason: the tenderness of the meat and its intense marbling. Angus cattle have an extraordinary ability to use intramuscular fat as flavour carrier during the so-called finishing phase. With the combination of taste, tenderness, texture, colour of meat and an optimal amount of fat, the result is truly delicious.

Spanish legend – Iberico black pig:
Descending from the Mediterranean, the Iberico pig spread throughout the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, where it lived in the Spanish “dehesas”, a land which was full of cork and holm oaks, thus full of acorns.
The Iberian pig is a very old animal that pre-existed animal domestication. Their origin can be traced back to the Neolithic Period around 12,000 years ago. You will find Iberian pigs living in the mountains, usually in a wild environment, or in the forest close to its favorite diet of acorns, oak, and nuts. Iberian pigs have a red to grey skin color and have very little or no hair.
Why Ibérico is so special?
The high quality of Ibérico meat lies in being well-matured because of the fact that the pigs have lived no less than 10 months from birth. When raw, Ibérico meat almost looks like beef. The cooked meat is red to bright red compared to regular pig meat which is white. The game-changer for the Ibérico pork meat is the fat. Because of its mostly acorns diet and its genetics, Iberian pigs are able to infiltrate a lot of fat into their muscles, resulting in more flavorful pork. On top of being high in fat, a large amount of it is unsaturated oleic fat, the same fat found in olive oil, which is said to reduce cholesterol and is an important part of the Mediterranean diet. When you eat Ibérico pork, the marbling of fat in it makes it super tasty and delicious. The meat is more flavorful, juicier, and very distinctive.
Ibérico genetics
A genetic characteristic allows these Ibérico pigs to store up large deposits of lipids, which seep into the muscular mass and provide the marbling effect which makes this pork so juicy. Although this marbling is invisible to the eye in some pieces, texture, juiciness and high quality are always guaranteed.
Furthermore, the predominantly acorn diet of the pigs give a very particular flavor to the pork You can taste a unique nutty flavor in Ibérico pork which makes the meat very special. Ibérico pork meat is the richest pork you can find. You won’t be able to find its flavor and succulence anywhere else.
Breeding process of Ibérico pigs
To make the pork taste so special, the Ibérico pigs need a different approach on the breeding process. First of all, the pigs need to live in open areas in a very natural environment and be free to run over hills and through woods, always close to the dehesas. By doing this, their muscles will develop and grow, and be able to infiltrate the fat from the acorns.
During the spring and summer months, the pigs will eat grass, mushrooms, bugs, and herbs. Then, from October to March, during the acorn season, they will munch on acorns falling from the dehesas.
