Teres Major from Black Forest pasture-fed cattle

The Teres Major is an absolute insider tip for beef! Also known as the butcher's cut , it's considered one of the best and most tender cuts, boasting a juicy texture and intense meat flavor. This cut comes from the rear part of the shoulder and is ideal for pan-frying or grilling.

Through our own breeding and slaughtering, we guarantee the highest meat quality and species-appropriate animal husbandry.

Teres Major explains - Meat consultation

The properties of the Teres Major

The teres major originates from the back of the shoulder and is also called the petite tender . The muscle is rarely used, making it particularly tender. The term "teres major" comes from medical Latin and refers to the muscle that moves the forelegs inward.

Raising our cattle

All our beef comes from our own herd and from partners in the Black Forest. The animals are raised on our own farm feed. Thanks to short transport routes (max. 50 km) and stress-free slaughter on our farm, we guarantee the highest quality meat.

Dry-aged beef – tradition and quality

Dry aging beef steaks is a tradition for us. This aging method preserves the natural flavor of the meat while the meat matures on the bone, losing up to 50% of its weight without sacrificing its juiciness.
