The organoleptic qualities and particular nature of the meat can be explained by the diversity of the plant varieties found in the pastures:
halophilous plants salicornia, glasswort, obione, etc in high-salt environments, reeds and fescue in low-salt environments, natural vegetation of the scrubland in dry areas, grassland vegetation throughout the geographical area.
The deep red colour of the meat is caused by its pH, which is influenced by the alkaline nutrients of the halophilous plants. Its fine grain is characterised by muscle fibre that develops through the regular movement of the animal in the free-range pastures pasture land. The voluntary and frequent movement of these animals means that their muscles feed on fats, making their meat low-fat.
Taureau de Camargue has highly specific qualities linked to the combined action of the soil, environment and living conditions.
Shaped by its environment and bred according to the free-range method since ancient times, Taureau de Camargue has become an important partner in efforts to maintain biodiversity in the Camargue.
