Tips for Choosing an Imported Beef Distributor

Imported beef is often used to serve various signature dishes in restaurants and cafes. Give satisfaction to your customers with the best meat dishes. Here’s how to choose a reliable imported beef supplier.

   The first thing when choosing a distributor is to assess the quality of the meat. Quality beef will determine the accolades of the menu presented to the customer. Look for distributors who have high quality products, such as Indogal, established in 2014, which has been the exclusive agent for imported Spanish halal beef in the Indonesian market. The characteristics of quality beef include having a dense and chewy texture, a fresh smell (not rancid), and a fresh red color, and that it is not watery
2. Pay attention to the grade of the meat
   The next tip is to pay attention to the grade of available imported beef. There are several levels or grades, with different qualities. To provide maximum service for hotel and restaurant customers, make sure to choose premium quality beef. However, if your target customer is the lower middle class, there is no harm in choosing a more modest grade. Large distributors usually provide several grade options to meet various levels of needs. Indogal, as a large distributor, also provides beef of various grades and from various countries of origin, both locally, and from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and especially Spain.
3. Compare Catalogues from Multiple Distributors
