Irish Grass Fed Meat
At Podavini Butcher Shop we select only meat from certified and sustainable farms. Among these, we proudly offer our Grass Fed meat, which is beef from animals fed mainly on grass and natural fodder.
What is the Standard Grass Fed?
This meat comes from Irish farms that adhere to the Grass Fed Standard developed by Bord Bia, the first protocol in the world to independently certify grass feeding. This is a concrete guarantee of quality, traceability and respect for the environment.
To be defined as Grass Fed, the meat must meet very specific parameters: animals must be fed at least 90 percent grass or grass-based fodder and grazed outdoors for an average of 220 days per year, for the duration of their lives. A natural farming method that results in healthier, tastier and more sustainable meat.
The protocol is based on data collected as part of the Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme, an integral part of Ireland’s national “Origin Green” program designed to promote sustainability in the food supply chain.
At Podavini Butcher Shop you will find selected cuts of Grass Fed meat, ideal for those seeking authentic taste, superior nutritional values and a responsible approach to food production.

Irish Grass Fed IGP meat:
quality certified from origin
At Macelleria Podavini we bring only the best to the table, which is why we have also chosen to offer you Irish pasture-raised meat, now officially recognized by the European Union with the PGI – Protected Geographical Indication – certification.
This important certification enhances the work of Irish family farms and the uniqueness of the Emerald Isle’s lush pastures, which have always been synonymous with excellence in beef production.
Grass Fed PGI meat guarantees that each animal comes from farms where the animals are fed at least 90 percent grass or natural fodder and graze outdoors for a minimum of 220 days per year. A sustainable, traceable and animal welfare-friendly farming model.
The result is meat with a full flavor, unmistakable texture and superior nutritional profile, ideal for those seeking a genuine, healthy and certified product.
Tradition, innovation and quality come together in every Grass Fed IGP cut you find in our counter.
Assured Quality and Sustainability Program: assurance for Irish beef
The Grass Fed meat we offer at Podavini Butcher Shop comes from farms that adhere to the Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme (SBLAS) Quality and Sustainability Assurance Scheme for Irish Beef and Lamb, a national initiative that ensures the highest standards throughout the supply chain.
It is an independent and rigorous program created by a technical committee composed of Irish agricultural bodies, institutions and organizations. Its purpose is to ensure that each farm meets precise criteria in terms of quality, animal welfare, environmental sustainability and traceability.
Through regular inspections and a uniform registration system, the program continuously monitors good practices on cattle and sheep farms. This makes it possible to offer the end consumer certified, controlled meat produced in accordance with ethical and sustainable principles, in line with the highest European standards.
Choosing SBLAS-certified Grass Fed meat means bringing not only authentic flavor to the table, but also the security of a transparent, environmentally and animal-friendly product.
