Diners around the world appreciate the 1824 Premium Beef for its superb tenderness, juiciness and full flavor. The superiority of 1824 Premium Beef has been well established with its many awards, including a silver medal at the prestigious Sydney Royal Fine Food Show and winning the Best Branded Product at Australia’s highly contested Red Meat Innovation Awards for three consecutive years - a feat never before achieved by any other beef brand.
As an industry leader, AAco has developed a highly sophisticated supply chain, managed by a passionate and dedicated team. Specialised breeding programs and nutritional regimes have been implemented in conjunction with leading Australian geneticists and scientists to produce the highly acclaimed 1824 Premium Beef brand.
Angus, Charolais, Senepol and Santa Gertrudis cattle, genetically renowned for their eating quality traits and adaptability, form the basis of 1824 Premium Beef. Cattle are born and raised on the natural grasses of pristine Australian properties before being finished on quality cereal grains.
In order to achieve superior quality, consistency and uniformity 52 weeks of the year, only a small percentage of cattle are selected for the elite 1824 Premium Beef range. All beef is then independently graded by the world’s leading grading system, Meat Standards Australia™ (MSA), to guarantee tenderness and deliver an unsurpassed eating sensation.
AACO'S WAGYU BEEF
Australian Agricultural Company (AAco) is one of Australia’s most experienced and exacting producers of Wagyu, the Japanese beef prized for its unsurpassed tenderness and extraordinary depth of flavour.
Wagyu is a breed of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling; a quality that delivers a true melt-in-the-mouth experience for diners. Wagyu beef is naturally enriched with omega-3 and omega-6 monounsaturated fats and contains a higher percentage of healthier monounsaturated fats than any other breed of cattle.
AAco has the enviable reputation of being Australia’s largest and most prestigious Wagyu producer with a herd comprising the most highly credentialed full-blood Japanese Black Wagyu sires and breeding females ever to leave Japan.
AAco’s promise of superior quality Wagyu beef can be attributed to many precise processes, including unrivalled animal husbandry practices, AAco’s unique Wagyu Grading System and importantly, closely guarded feeding regimes passed on from cattle feeding masters in Japan.
AAco’s Wagyu cattle are born and raised in a naturally clean and safe environment. All beef is certified ‘free from hormone growth promotants’ while DNA traceability and the world leading Sure TRAK™ identification system ensure that the highest levels of integrity and food safety are maintained.
The esteemed AAco Wagyu brands – Darling Downs Wagyu, Kobe Cuisine and Master Kobe - are sought after globally by Master Chefs and Restaurateurs in their pursuit of excellence.
