HOLSTEIN CATTLE: Our California Reserve Oxtails are sourced from Holstein Cattle, raised in California predominantly in the SE corner of the state.
SHIP FROZEN Flash frozen after being processed, these oxtails will be safe for an additional 6-7 months in your freezer, or 4-5 days in your refrigerator once thawed.
UN-AGED: Two reasons why we do not dry age this particular cut – first, because there is very little protective covering that would allow us to dry age these (without enough bone or fat covering the meat, you incur too high of a trim loss when you trim the aged edges off the meat after it has finished dry aging). Secondly, because oxtails are most often paired with sauces or seasonings that are high in flavor, so we would not want to have a scenario where the dry aged flavor is competing with whatever recipe you’re going for!
