Colleton Red Ruby Devon Beef, Chulmleigh
It is certainly true that Red Ruby Devon Beef is probably the best beef you can buy!
Grass fed Red Ruby Devon beef simply can’t be beaten for marbling, texture, flavour and tenderness. The balance of fat and meat is a vital factor in flavour. The Red Ruby Devon naturally lays down intra-muscular fat in the meat which produces wonderful marbled beef.
