Starting on the day it is produced and vacuum packed in Argentina, the duration of the product is of 120 days as long as it remains in its original package, preserved at the right temperature.
Due to the type of packaging used, all the oxygen is removed from the product allowing it to age inside the package. The smell is related to the lactic acid present in the beef. We recommend that once you open the original package to dry all the liquids with a paper towel and let the beef rest for about 20 minutes so that it can get in contact with the air to regain its original properties. By that time the smell should have disappeared.
Our products are shipped using UPS Express Service which delivers within 24 hours. We place the product in a sealed thermal insulated bag along with gel packs that preserve its temperature.
Because the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency), who is in charge of administering and regulating the food safety system in Canada, doesn’t authorize the entry of bone-in beef from Argentina.
The beef is produced and packed in Argentina. TANGO imports the beef fresh and does not make any transformation to the original package or piece of beef.
Because there is no recognized equivalency between the grading system used in Argentina and the one used in Canada, therefore the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) mandates to mark the product as ungraded.
