AWARD-WINNING EXCELLENCE

Pure South Handpicked Beef is a proven gold medal winner, recognised for exceptional tenderness, flavour, and quality.

Across our range, excellence is the standard. Our 55-Day Aged Beef Ribeye was crowned the Best Grass-Fed Steak in the World, while our French Lamb Rack and Venison Five Rib Rack each claimed gold at the Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards.

This is red meat craftsmanship at its finest—proven, awarded, and exceptional.

ENHANCED BY AGEING

We believe exceptional flavour takes time. Our expert butchers carefully age each cut for 42+ or 55+ days, allowing natural enzymes to enhance tenderness, depth, and richness—a distinction that sets us apart from standard frozen beef.

Aged to perfection with freshness locked in, Handpicked is truly exceptional meat. The proof is in the eating.

RICH & CREAMY

Buttery, creamy and dreamy. Flavour builds from an abundance of natural-umami and the caramelisation of marbling. The essence of savoury deliciousness and very moreish.

Winning accolades on the global stage, Pure South Handpicked Beef stands as a harmonious blend of marbling and texture, delivering a steak experience that’s unparalleled in its richness and authenticity.
