Picanha - Not excellent
"I am a farmer from South Africa who had to barbeque something at social event while I was visiting Holland. Delivery was excellent. The Picanha was nicely packaged but had excessive "white fat" (more fat than meat) indicating feedlot preparation while the meat was tougher and had less flavour than I would have expected, particularly at € 32,49 per 750g piece (€43. 32/ kg). For this grade of meat the Namibian farmer would get €5/kg for if he was lucky. Namibia has always been a producer of excellent quality grass fed beef with a good (yellow) fat to meat ratio. Premium quality Namibian Picanha with exceptional flavour and yellow fat retails for €8. 50/kg in South Africa."
