Chairman´s Reserve Platimun TM Angus Beef
The Chairman´s Reserve brand offers beef in multiple quality tiers. Each are exceptional because all cuts must meet a rigorous set of criteria before being considered for the Chairman´s Reserve label. The selection criteria ensures meat with optimal marbling, flavor and tenderness. Every cut of our Angus beef is graded USDA Choice.
