Scotch Beef Academy
The Scotch Beef Academy has been created to allow chefs and restaurateurs to develop a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding meat.
On completing the course students will be perfectly equipped to identify the five key pieces of information – country of origin, slaughter plant number, kill date, pack date and batch number – which verify the origin of the beef you serve.
Over one or two day courses participants will find out about aspects of beef production, and the chain of assurances that backs it up. Participants will be taken through the entire production system of farms and processors – from abattoirs and butchery techniques to the finished product. Concentrating on beef, the course will provide facts about breed, feed, farm assurance, maturation, cuts etc. Labelling regulations, traceability and identification will also be explained so that Scotch Beef buyers can be sure of its origins and how it has been handled.
The courses have proved successful so far with one being held in Butchers Hall, London and another one in The Bluebird Restaurant, London. Future courses are being held in September and November both in Butchers Hall. At The St Andrews Day Masterclass to be held on 30th November, the guest of honour will again be the Honorary President of The Scotch Beef Club – HRH The Princess Royal.
