What is Chianina IGP?
Chianina is a particular breed of cattle, native in Tuscany and Umbria. It is distinguished by its white coat and its high-quality meat was loved even by the ancients. Real Chianina still comes from small farms and is produced in limited quantities. This is why at Lungarno23 we always display the IGP mark, as a guarantee of a traceable product of controlled and certified origin to ensure you that you are ordering the original Chianina.
Why it is called Chianina: the close link with the territory
The name “Chianina” comes from the Val di Chiana area where the cattle are bred. The link with the territory made this meat a local excellence for all Florentines. Anyone visiting Florence cannot miss this essential part of the city’s gastronomic culture.
Chianina meat, the quality one, has always been a must at Lungarno23.
Lungarno23 was born with the intent of enhancing this precious Tuscan heritage. To guarantee a safe and high-quality product, all our hamburgers and selected Chianina dishes are registered with the trademark of the “Consorzio Tutela Vitellone Bianco dell’Appennino Centrale”.
