A. Your beef is individually vacuum-packed at source for maximum freshness.
We use the latest design in temperature controlled packaging: our boxes contain a refrigerant that maintains an ambient temperature, keeping your product fresh or frozen until its arrival.
Green - Policy
Pampas Plains is keen to make sure that the best possible reuse of our packaging is made in such a way that is it not detrimental to the environment. Polystyrene trays can be deployed in the green house as seedling boxes and the chill packs can be refrozen and used again for summer picnics. We are always glad to hear any of your bright ideas, and we are continually trying to keep the grass as green as possible on both sides of the Atlantic!

Storage: Your meat has arrived chilled and ideally should be kept at between 0°C and +3°C for maximum freshness. Most domestic fridges run at between +5°C and +7°C and therefore we recommend consuming your beef as soon as possible, as is normal with fresh meat.
Freezing: Your beef is ideal for freezing and should you wish to freeze it, do so when it arrives and consume, ideally, within 6 months. If you have bought a whole joint, we recommend that you consider cutting it up (e.g. into individual steaks, or smaller roasting joints) prior to freezing so that you can defrost to your needs and don’t have to ‘use up’ a whole piece. You must not re-freeze the meat once it has thawed.
A. Pampas Plains uses a special maturation process which is unique to our beef; we mature our Beef for between four and eight weeks. You will never recieve meat that has been aged for less than four weeks.
Q. What are your site ordering and safety policies?
A. Pampas Plains complies with internet safe transactions and will never send you an email asking for security information. All our emails and sales literature will direct you only to our site and its contents at www.pampasplains.com. All transactions are covered under a SSL Certifcation and "Secpay " security.
A. Products highlighted with either a "Fresh" or "Frozen" icon, indicate that this product can be pruchased as one or the other depending on its availability and your delivery requirements.
Q. Why does the date on the frozen product show a best before date that has already passed?
A. Please note that some of our products, in particular 'Picanha' or 'Rump cap' arrive fresh and we then freeze them immediately, this is due to supply and demand. We like to try to have the products you like, when you want them .
The shelf life date inside the vacuum pack is the 'fresh' date and bears no meaning to the life of the frozen product. we give 6 months shelf life from the date of freezing.
