All beef is inspected for wholesomeness by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)*, and is graded for quality and consistency.
Grading Chart
Marbling – the little white flecks in beef – is key to flavor. The higher the amount of marbling, the higher the quality of beef. The Prime Grade is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy because of the high amounts of marbling in every cut.
Q: How is beef graded?
A: Independent USDA graders inspect cattle and label them according to the grading scale: Prime, Choice, Select and several low-quality grades. Prime tops the grading scale. Marbling plays a big role in quality grades.
Q: How is beef selected for the "Highest Quality" Prime Grade?
A: The same independent USDA graders inspect black-hided cattle (typical of the Angus breed) and give it a grade. All beef considered for the brand must be the best Prime or Choice, beef – truly the top of the scale. This top-quality Angus beef is then evaluated again, using the brand's set of 10 science-based specifications for marbling, size and uniformity. If it's good enough to make the cut, then it earns the "Highest Quality" Prime Grade!
Q: What makes the "Highest Quality" Prime Grade the ultimate beef?
A: Quality, plain and simple. Only truly elite beef surpasses the USDA's stringent Prime standards, AND meets all 10 of the brand's quality specifications. Less than 1.5% of beef achieves these high standards ... and marbling is key to its incredible flavor and tenderness.
