Behind every memorable dish lies an ingredient chosen with care. For over four decades, Cárnicas Valdi has built its reputation on delivering prime quality meat to chefs and restaurants across Spain and Europe. Founded in 1981 as a family business, Valdi continues to combine tradition with innovation, selecting only the best cuts for the culinary world.
From Selection to Service
The Valdi philosophy is simple: quality in both product and service. Their team of experts selects cuts from the finest abattoirs in Spain and Europe, ensuring consistency, traceability, and excellence. Modern facilities and strict cold-chain control preserve meat at peak condition, while careful maturation brings out the depth of flavor chefs rely on.
Breeds That Define Excellence
For chefs, the choice of breed is just as important as the cut. Valdi works with some of the most prestigious cattle breeds in Europe, each offering unique qualities:
- Rubia Gallega (Galicia, Spain): Famous for its golden fat and ability to absorb cereal feed, this beef develops remarkable flavor and tenderness with long maturation. A true icon of Spanish gastronomy.
- Frisona (Friesland region): The world’s most exported breed, prized for its strong musculature and balanced fat cover. Ideal for consistent, high-quality cuts with robust character.
- Simmental (Switzerland): A dual-purpose breed known for its marbled, ruby-colored meat with a white fat cover, delivering richness and succulence on the plate.
- Hereford (England): Renowned for its fine texture and tenderness, thanks to a natural grass-fed diet. Its intramuscular fat improves juiciness and makes it one of the most elegant beef breeds available.

From extra premium tenderloin to matured rib cuts, Valdi’s portfolio is designed for chefs who demand the best. Each piece represents not only a cut of meat, but a foundation for creativity, flavor, and the kind of dining experiences guests remember.
