Furthermore, beef fillet is the easiest and quickest option to prepare compared to other types of dishes: 31.5% of Spaniards judge it this way, while 25.9% consider it the salad and 15. 6%, the pasta.
Although we live in a time where inflation is worrying, 61.8% consider that beef is the food that increases the least during Christmas and almost half (47.1%) consider that it cannot be included in their Christmas menu. missing some beef dish. It rises less… and is more usable: comparing different types of fresh food, Spaniards consider that beef is the one that generates the least waste.
Javier López has expressed his satisfaction upon verifying that 90% of Spaniards value beef positively, and encourages “to consume it this Christmas due to its price, cooking versatility, variety of cuts, diversity of recipes and excellent quality.”
