 Meltique Beefs unique technique uses a highly developed method of inserting soluble oil into lean meat cuts to baste the meat internally through the cooking process. This ensures that all the natural juices are retained so the full flavour profile and tenderness of Australian beef is consistently delivered. Our method perfects the traditional French ‘larding’ process and applies it successfully to a range of primal frozen beef products at very competitive prices.
The Hastings Food Processing plant (Registration / Establishment Number: 429) , which produces Meltique Beef products for Hokubee Australia, was purpose built to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and quality control systems. The plant has the potential to meet the rapid increase in demand for Meltique products which Hokubee Australia is already experiencing. The company is recognised as exemplifying Australia’s agricultural initiatives to bring to the world the very best that this clean, green country produces
