Carne de Ávila

Carne de Ávila (Beef from Avila) is a protected geographic designation for beef originating from the Province of Ávila in Spain.

[1] Carne de Ávila is produced exclusively from livestock of the Avileña-Black Iberian breed found throughout the region of Castile and León.

The regulatory board is headquartered in the city of Ávila.

The Avileña-Black Iberian breed is an evolved specimen from the serrana race, crossed with other breeds of the region, which has resulted in a small population of animals of uniform black coat, although some individuals exhibit degradations on the skin tone.

Carne de Ávila is the source of the original raw t-bone, a typical dish of the Province of Ávila.
