Unless you live on a ranch, your food is almost certainly frozen at some point before it reaches you: there’s simply no other way to preserve its freshness and safety as it travels long distances.

• But not all freezing is created equal. In the typical supply chain, proteins can be frozen over the course of many hours. This allows their cells to expand slowly, creating the ice crystals you’re familiar with from your home freezer and altering the natural tastiness of the food.

  Food may then be handled by multiple distributors, switching between warehouses, loading docks and vehicles, often partially thawing between freezers.

• Slower freezing, more refreezing, higher loss of prime quality taste. At Marble & Grain, we ensure your food is blast-frozen at the point of origin, which drastically reduces the time it takes to go from room temperature to fully frozen.

  From the butcher shop, we bring it directly to our warehouse freezers, then pack and ship it to your front door, maintaining its temperature consistency and taste profile all along.

   

  Faster freezing, fewer hands, more pure prime on your plate.
