Conscious Grilling & Enjoying with Buffalo Bill

In Germany, summer and barbecuing simply belong together like cinema and popcorn. For a long time now, however, not only the standards such as neck steak, bratwurst or chicken breast have been applied-now many grill fans are more sustainable. Delicious feta bags, crunchy vegetables and fresh salads as a side dish are increasingly finding their way into the culinary grill kitchen. And buffalo meat is also gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative. At Büffel Bill in particular, we regularly convince ourselves personally that our buffalo grow up stress-free and according to the highest standards. And it is precisely this species-appropriate attitude that is also reflected in the taste and quality.

The taste of buffalo meat

The very aromatic buffalo meat tastes unique and can be described as a mixture of game and beef. This distinctive taste is due to the natural diet and lifestyle of the buffalo. Our animals graze on large meadows and feed mainly on grasses, which is reflected in a characteristic aroma.

Differences between buffalo and beef

Although buffalo and beef may look similar at first glance, there are some important differences between the two types of meat:

• Taste and texture: Our buffalo feed on fresh grass and herbs. In terms of taste, the meat is more likely to have a mild, slightly nutty note. The meat also tends to be leaner than beef and, due to its texture, is particularly suitable for grilling.
• Nutrient content: Buffalo meat is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals such as iron and zinc. Compared to beef, it contains less fat and calories and is therefore a good option for barbecue lovers who pay attention to their diet.
• Environmental friendliness: As a rule, keeping buffaloes is more environmentally friendly than cattle. Buffaloes require less water and food because they are natural grazing animals and live in extensive grazing areas. Through the constant exchange with our partners, we can guarantee, for example, that our buffalo are kept under the best possible living conditions. The animals stand outdoors all year round along the Amalfi Coast in extensive meadows with access to the watering holes. And the water buffalo of our regional partners also live outdoors all year round-as far as the weather conditions allow.
