The saga of Hereford corned beef
Since its beginnings with legendary corned beef, Hereford has reinvented itself as a true beef house to inspire your everyday cooking. From authenticity to delicious indulgence, our products accompany you in creative, generous and flavourful recipes.
The great history of corned beef
Pampas and Gauchos
The history of corned beef began in South America, in the pampas, among the gauchos and their huge herds. It was there that the first recipes for salted beef were created to accompany the horsemen on their long rides to watch over the herds.
On the way to Europe
It was only later that Americans exported the famous corned beef recipe to Europe. The shape of the can and the key-operated opening system contributed to its popularity and success.
The story continues
Today, Hereford corned beef is produced according to the original recipe in Bressuire in western France, a region renowned for the quality of its meat and livestock farming.
