• Minimum fat. At the same time, the fat is healthy - rich in Omega-3, which support heart and blood vessel health.
• Boneless. Almost completely fillet - convenient for cooking and safe for children.
• No smell of sludge. Thanks to growing in closed water supply facilities (UZV), the meat is clean, tender and pleasant to the taste.
