Check out this interesting read about the unique breed of Cattle we are raising.

Nel 1886, in un cortile di Cuneo, un vitello cambiò per sempre la bistecca italiana.

Non era ammalato. Non era il risultato di anni di selezione pianificata. Era semplicemente diverso — con le cosce doppie, i muscoli gonfi come non si era mai visto su un bovino. I contadini di Guarene d'Alba non sapevano cosa stessero guardando.

Stavano guardando il capostipite di una razza intera.

Quell'animale portava una mutazione spontanea su un singolo gene: il gene della miostatina, la proteina che nei bovini funziona come un freno alla crescita muscolare. Nel suo DNA, su una transizione tra guanina e adenina sul cromosoma 2, il freno aveva ceduto. I muscoli crescevano senza limite. Le cosce si raddoppiavano.

Non era una malattia. Era un errore del DNA talmente preciso da sembrare progettato.

Da quel singolo vitello nacque la fassona piemontese moderna. Una razza costruita su quella mutazione recessiva, selezionata per 140 anni fino a diventare qualcosa che non ha equivalenti al mondo per le sue caratteristiche.

Aspetta, perché i numeri fanno una certa impressione.

Una bovina standard porta al macello il 55-60% del suo peso vivo in carne. La fassona piemontese arriva al 68-70%. Quasi 15 punti percentuali in più — che su un animale da 600 chili vuol dire 80-90 chili di carne in più per capo.

E quella carne contiene solo il 2,5% di grasso. Un profilo lipidico con omega-3 paragonabile a quello di molti pesci.

Tutto questo da un errore su una singola base del DNA, in un cortile cuneese, 140 anni fa.

Una mutazione spontanea in un borgo di 3.000 abitanti ha prodotto la razza bovina più magra e muscolare che esista. Nessun laboratorio ci era arrivato — ci aveva pensato un vitello di Guarene d'Alba.

In breve:
Nel 1886 a Guarene d'Alba nacque un vitello con una mutazione spontanea del gene della miostatina che bloccava il freno alla crescita muscolare
Da quell'unico animale fu selezionata la fassona piemontese moderna, con una resa al macello del 68-70% contro il 55-60% delle razze standard
La carne risultante ha solo il 2,5% di grasso e un profilo di omega-3 comparabile a quello di molti pesci

Here is a photo for perspective. Our Blade steaks are bigger than a large dinner plate. You can cut it with a butter knife. We can feed 4 members of our family, from one steak. (Two grown man, the lady of the house and one boy who eats like a grown man) You will see there is hardly any waste as there is next to no fat. With excellent flavor too!!!

Interesting facts about the History of the Unique Breed of Cattle that we proudly Breed, Raise and sell here at in Ontario, Canada. We are only 1 of 4 Registered Breeders in Canada.

Piedmontese cattle are rare in the world... because they evolved in only one tiny area of northern Italy. Italy has historically been one of the more difficult countries for import of live animals into the USA or Canada, and only 15 live animals were ever imported into North America. Today, the North American Piedmontese Association (NAPA) is the 2nd largest association in the world, outside of Italy, for this truly unique breed.
