Carne de Ávila (Beef from Avila) is a protected geographic designation for beef originating from the Province of Ávila in Spain. The designation was approved in 1988.[1]
Overview
[edit]Carne de Ávila is produced exclusively from livestock of the Avileña-Black Iberian breed found throughout the region of Castile and León. The regulatory board is headquartered in the city of Ávila.
The Avileña-Black Iberian breed is an evolved specimen from the serrana race, crossed with other breeds of the region, which has resulted in a small population of animals of uniform black coat, although some individuals exhibit degradations on the skin tone.
Carne de Ávila is the source of the original raw t-bone, a typical dish of the Province of Ávila.
