Fassona Piemontese

Among the most prized meats in European gastronomy, Fassona Piemontese holds an almost mythical status. Lean yet tender, delicate yet deeply flavorful, it is not simply a beef breed but a cultural and culinary benchmark. Revered by chefs for its purity and versatility, Fassona represents the meeting point between tradition, animal welfare, and refined technique.

Within this universe of excellence, Oberto Fassona, distributed by Longino & Cardenal, stands as a reference product for fine dining kitchens seeking uncompromising quality, traceability, and consistency.

What Is Fassona Piemontese?

Fassona Piemontese is a native Italian cattle breed originating from Piedmont, in northern Italy. It is genetically distinct, renowned for its naturally low fat content, fine grain, and exceptional tenderness - qualities that make it unique among European beef breeds.

Unlike heavily marbled meats, Fassona expresses elegance through clean flavor, silky texture, and purity. Its nutritional profile is equally remarkable: low in cholesterol, rich in protein, and highly digestible - qualities increasingly valued by today’s chefs and diners alike.

This is a meat that does not overpower. It elevates.

Fassona for Haute Cuisine

For chefs, Fassona is a dream ingredient. Its structure allows for extreme precision: raw preparations such as tartare and carpaccio reveal its sweetness and finesse, while quick cooking methods preserve its tenderness without masking its natural flavor.

Fassona rewards restraint. It does not need excess technique or heavy seasoning - only respect, sharp knives, and understanding hands. In an era where authentic products speak louder than embellishment, Fassona has become a staple in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe and, increasingly, the Middle East.
