At La Vasca y El Vasco, we pride ourselves on offering the best of northern Spanish gastronomy. Among our specialities, there is one jewel that has won the hearts (and palates) of our customers: the Txogitxu Basque Txuleta. This meat is not only a delight for lovers of good food, but also a representation of the tradition and quality of Basque cuisine.
Origin and characteristics
Txogitxu Basque Txuleta comes from old, fat cows, an unusual choice but one that makes a big difference to the flavour and texture of the meat. These cows, reared on green pastures in the Basque Country, live a long and quiet life, which allows the meat to develop a deep flavour and a unique texture.
One of the most outstanding characteristics of this txuleta is its fat infiltration. Unlike other meats, the fat of the Txogitxu Basque Txuleta is evenly distributed, which gives it exceptional juiciness and flavour. This fat melts during cooking, imbuing the meat with a rich, succulent flavour that is hard to beat.
What makes it so good?
The excellence of the Txogitxu Basque Txuleta is due to several factors:
Rigorous selection: Only the best cows are selected to become Txogitxu txuletas. This process guarantees that only the highest quality pieces reach the table.
Perfect maturation: The meat undergoes a controlled maturation process that can last up to 60 days. This process allows the meat’s natural enzymes to soften the meat and concentrate its flavour, resulting in tender and tasty meat.
Special cut: The cut of the txuleta is crucial. Our expert butchers make precise cuts that ensure even cooking and impeccable presentation.
