WHO ARE WE?
The "Corte Preziosa" Farm is located in the heart of the suggestive Po Valley, in Serravalle a Po, a place rich in traditions and agricultural history, near the beautiful city of Mantua. For five generations, the Pelizzardi family has passed down with passion and dedication the ancient tasks of farmers and cattle breeders, jealously guarding the heritage of knowledge and techniques that have characterized their activity over time.
Determination and love for the land and animals have pushed the Pelizzardi family to venture into the direct sale of fresh beef to the consumer, with a single goal in mind: to bring to people's tables a product of excellent quality at a reasonable price.
Over the years, the activity of "Corte Preziosa" has expanded and the company was the first in the province of Mantua to build a CE Slaughterhouse for cattle, together with a Meat and Gastronomy laboratory. This important step has allowed them to directly control all the production phases, ensuring a high quality of the final product.
This made it possible to directly control all the production phases:
- From sowing to forage harvesting
- Choice of cattle breed and breeding
- Slaughtering and maturing of the halves
- Cutting and processing of meat
This approach allows us to obtain meat of extraordinary genuineness and quality, which the Pelizzardi family is able to personally guarantee, since they are the only ones responsible for the entire process.
"Corte Preziosa" is based on the traditions rooted in the territory and on the history of the company, keeping alive the techniques and secrets passed down from generation to generation. The company is a true treasure chest of knowledge and experience that are reflected in the final product offered to consumers, combining artisan quality with the modern needs of transparency and traceability.
By choosing "Corte Preziosa" meat, you are sure to taste a piece of history, the fruit of a company that combines tradition and innovation, to offer a unique and excellent quality product, proudly carrying on the family heritage.
THE FARM
The fertile lands of the Company are cultivated with care and dedication, with the sowing of corn, barley, hay and soy. These crops are carefully chosen to obtain excellent quality forage, intended to feed our precious cattle.
The choice of crops is the result of a careful evaluation of the nutritional needs of the livestock and the characteristics of the territory. Corn, for example, offers a rich energy source for the animals, while barley contributes to a healthy diet. Hay, obtained with the rigor of traditional processing, provides a source of fiber and essential nutrients. Soya, on the other hand, contributes to a balanced and nutritious diet for our cattle.
The main objective of these crops is to guarantee the production of the highest quality forages, which are essential for the health and well-being of the animals. The Pelizzardi family is aware of the importance of a healthy and natural diet for their cattle, and for this reason they are committed to growing the best crops to obtain the best possible forages.
The care of the land and crops is done following sustainable agricultural practices, respecting the environment and biodiversity. The company promotes the responsible use of natural resources and soil conservation, helping to preserve the ecological balance of the territory.
THE FARMING
At the "Corte Preziosa" Farm, animals are raised with great attention to their well-being. Cattle enjoy large, adequate spaces and optimal environmental conditions, which respect their natural needs and promote their health.
The choice to breed exclusively females of the Limousine breed is the result of a deep consideration for the quality of the meat offered. The Limousine breed is one of the most widespread and renowned bovine breeds in the world, appreciated for the high quality of its meat, which is always lean and very tender.
The Pelizzardi family is aware of the importance of ensuring a balanced and natural diet for their cows, as this directly affects the quality of the meat produced.
The company is committed to strictly following ethical breeding standards and practices, respecting the welfare of animals at every stage of their lives. The large and adequate spaces offer animals the freedom to move and socialize, contributing to their psychophysical well-being.
The breeding of Limousine cattle at "Corte Preziosa" represents a combination of tradition and quality, guaranteeing high-quality and tasty meats that meet the expectations of the most demanding consumers. The constant commitment to the care of the animals and the careful selection of the breed give the meat produced a distinctive value, which translates into an extraordinary culinary experience for those who taste it.
THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND THE BUTCHER'S SHOP
In order to guarantee an excellent product, the slaughtering, maturing and cutting phases of the meat are of fundamental importance. At the "Corte Preziosa" Farm, these operations are carried out directly on the farm, in specially equipped rooms.
The decision to manage these crucial phases of the production process internally is motivated by the desire to maintain complete control over the quality of the final product. By carrying out the slaughtering, maturing and cutting of the meat directly in the company, greater traceability and careful management of every single detail is ensured.
The CE slaughterhouse for cattle, built inside the "Corte Preziosa" Company, meets rigorous hygiene and safety standards, ensuring respectful treatment of the animals and a professional processing process. The use of modern and cutting-edge equipment allows for precise and accurate slaughtering, keeping the organoleptic qualities of the meat intact.
Subsequently, the maturation phase plays a fundamental role in ensuring the tenderness and quality of the meat. The maturation of the halves, an ancient controlled maturation technique, is carried out with care and patience to obtain soft, succulent meat with a unique flavour.
Finally, the cutting of the meat is done following artisanal methods, guided by skill and mastery. The expert butchers of "Corte Preziosa" carefully select the different parts of the carcass, obtaining quality cuts of meat that are suitable for the different needs of consumers.
This internal management approach to the slaughtering, maturing and cutting of meat phases allows the "Corte Preziosa" farm to offer a superior quality product, with a freshness and goodness that only direct control can guarantee.
