As the first ray of morning sun shines on Xiamen Port, containers filled with exotic flavors are quietly changing the dining tables of Chinese people. Topside steak – this premium ingredient originating from South American ranches, how does it cross half the globe to become a darling of high-end domestic restaurants? Today, let us uncover the secrets of Xiamen's imported topside agent industry.

Why choose Topside steak?

Among numerous imported beef cuts, Topside stands out with its unique fiber structure and flavor:

• Golden Ratio Meat Quality: Fat content 5%-8%, combining tenderness with chewiness
• Cooking Adaptability: Suitable for pan-frying, grilling, stewing, or hot pot, excelling in both Chinese and Western dishes
• Health Value: Rich in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and Creatine

According to Mr. Qin, executive chef of a five-star hotel, "Topside is the perfect balance point between cost control and product quality; we stably procure 300 kilograms monthly."

Core Value of Professional Agency Companies

Professional agencies like Zhongmaoda have built a complete service chain:

"Last year, we helped clients deal with 17 batches of quarantine anomalies," emphasized Mr. Qin, who has ten years of experience in the industry, "Professional agents can mitigate 99% of sudden risks."
