QUINTO QUARTO (the 5th quarter) For Responsible Meat Consumers

QUINTO QUARTO (the 5th quarter) For Responsible Meat Consumers

To put it simply the fifth quarter (QUNITO QUARTO in Italian) is the remaining pieces of an animal carcass which are not being used for meat production. This included the organs, hide, intestines, feet, the head, horns, hooves, bones, fats and anything left once all the good meat is taken away. Many of these remnants of cattle processing hold great flavour, nutrition, strength, and possibilities!
