Product of the week #3, the oyster blade sits on the shoulder blade and when separated from the shoulder can be cut into steaks for pan-frying or barbecuing. It has a thin line of gristle that runs through the centre of the steak which should be scored to prevent curling when cooking. It is also a perfect cut for stir-frying with its full flavour and tenderness.

For thousands of years, meat has been seen as a rarity and a sign of  wealth. As Australian’s we love our meat but we also think it’s important to observe how other nations and cultures view and consume meat products. 

For example, did you know that India consumes the least amount of meat per capita? Hindus who do eat meat, often distinguish all other meat from beef. The respect for cow is part of Hindu belief, and most Hindus avoid meat sourced from cow as cows are treated as a motherly giving animal, considered as another member of the family. Instead they mainly consume chicken, fish and lamb, but still stay away from animal-derived fats such as lard and dripping. 

We love learning about different cultures and customs when it comes to meat so we hope we can provide you with a bit more insight into how meat is consumed across the world.

With factory farming still the main source of meat supply around the world, an opportunity for change presents itself when the consumer realises the power they have to influence this industry through the choices they make on how they spend.

Although many are not aware, despite animal rights and even climate change activists attempts to educate, the inhumane and toxic environments that factory farms are responsible for can only be influenced to change when their products are no longer in demand.

We at Castle Estate, here in Victoria are doing our bit in this David and Goliath battle to stick with our values and family farming traditions to continue to provide the best quality meat not at the expense of the animals quality of life. We believe that more and more people will come to appreciate not only the health benefits of grass fed meat but they will also be thrilled to discover that such morals and traditional humane farming practices still apply at our farm.
