Horsemeat

Horsemeat is one of the oldest foods eaten by humans. It is considered to be very healthy due to its low levels of cholesterol and high levels of iron and vitamins. The meat is characterised by its red to dark red colour. Its slightly sweet taste is caused by the high glycogen content.

Our horsemeat primarily comes from France and Spain. We only work with producers whose annual audits meet the minimum requirements of the Swiss manual on horse welfare. We will be happy to provide you with detailed information about this special animal welfare programme.
