Borgunto Chianina Beef Ragù — Valdichiana Tradition on the Table

Borgunto Chianina ragù is a handcrafted sauce that brings one of the most authentic flavors of Tuscany to your table. Chianina is Italy's oldest cattle breed, raised for centuries in the Valdichiana between Arezzo and Siena. Its meat is renowned for its tenderness, rich flavor, and lower fat content than other breeds.

Chianina: Why It's Special

The Chianina breed is protected by geographical indication (PGI) and is the same breed used for the famous Florentine steak. Its meat has particularly fine muscle fibers, an intense and authentic flavor, and is considered among the most prized in the world. Using it for a artisanal ragù means bringing a product of excellence to the table, not just a simple ready-made sauce.
