CARNE MIRANDESA - DOP
Type
Carne de bovino
Description
Very tasty and succulent meat, with a firm consistency and slightly moist, obtained from animals of the Mirandesa Breed raised in its original manor. The color ranges from light pink to light red, with white fat evenly distributed, with moderate intramuscular distribution in the steer. The muscle is fine-grained, with a firm, slightly moist consistency. It comes from Mirandesa breed cattle that have great bulk, with a brown color that darkens towards the ends. On the head, the protruding mottle stands out, covered with a tuft of golden hairs. Two parts of these carcasses that are protected by the Denomination of Origin have a particular reputation: the Posta and the Rodião, which can only be designated as “Mirandeses” if all legal rules and requirements are complied with.
History
Leite Vasconcelos cites a document by D. Dinis from 1286, which refers to the manor house of this breed, placing it in the current municipality of Freixo. Bernardo Lima, in 1870, refers to these animals placing his manor on the Mirandês plateau and stating that it is "a stout, broad-shouldered, resistant animal weighing an average of 608 kg". In these times these cattle had great expansion, finding large herds of this breed in farms across the country, as they were excellent working animals.
