Looking for great tasting beef every time. Horizon Gourmet Meats is the answer you have been looking for. Please follow the handling and storage instructions, outlined below to ensure your maximum satisfaction.

Packaging

Horizon Gourmet Meats is vacuum-sealed to give you a longer shelf life and protect the meat from dehydration and spoilage bacteria. The vacuum packaging process gives you a very hygienic well-presented product and ensures ease of storage and handling as well as improved eating quality as part of the ageing process. You will however observe a dulling and greying of the natural beef colours until the packs are opened.

Storage

Vacuum packed Horizon Gourmet Meats can be safely stored in your refrigerator for up to 4 - 8 weeks or in your freezer for up to six months. Once you open your vacuum packed bags the contents should be consumed within 24 hours or placed in plastic bags and put in the freezer.  We recommend marinated meat be eaten within 2 to 3 days or placed in your freezer.

Handling

Prior to cooking Horizon Gourmet Meats, remove the meat from the bag and place on a plate for about ten minutes to allow the return of the natural fresh red colours. When you open the pack, expect to notice a confinement aroma and some drip. This is natural and the aroma will quickly dissipate. It is a good idea to wash the remains of the bag before throwing in the rubbish bin, to avoids those unwanted odours.
