An everyday kitchen staple
Ground beef is one of those ingredients that can be used in many different ways. It can be cooked on its own, combined with other ingredients or used as the base for more complete dishes.
This ground beef is made from juicy cuts of beef without added additives.
How to use it
Use it for meatballs, homemade burgers, lasagne, cannelloni, pies, stuffed vegetables or meat sauces.
It also works well simply sautéed with vegetables, added to rice dishes or used in easy pasta recipes.
As with all ground meat, it should be thoroughly cooked before eating. If frozen, the best option is to let it thaw gradually in the refrigerator.
About Tolecarnes
Tolecarnes is a family-run cattle farm based in Menasalbas, at the foot of the Montes de Toledo, with three generations of experience raising cattle.
Its calves are raised by the farm from birth and spend much of the year grazing freely on its dehesa in the Montes de Toledo. The wetter conditions on the northern side of the mountains provide natural pasture for a large part of the year, allowing the cattle to remain outdoors and active in an open environment.
During winter, when fresh pasture is less abundant, their diet is supplemented with forage collected during the more productive months and with feed produced by Cooperativa Valle de Mena, of which Tolecarnes is a member. This feed is made from plant-based ingredients, giving the farm greater control over the animals' diet.
Tolecarnes oversees the farming process from the birth of its calves through to the sale of the meat, maintaining a traditional approach to cattle farming closely connected to the Montes de Toledo.
