Smoked Beef Tongue 1000 g
Tongue does not resemble the other muscles in a beef carcass. It is an organ in constant movement in every direction, and its fibres run not in one line but as an interwoven network. That structure explains why tongue gives a soft texture despite being lean — the tenderness comes from the arrangement of the fibres rather than from fat.
In charcuterie, tongue carries a long tradition and is becoming steadily harder to find. It takes more labour to process than other cuts; in return the cross-section resembles nothing else. For a customer who knows it that carries recognition, and for one who does not it becomes the item on a board that raises a question.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is tongue tender despite being lean?
Because of the interwoven network of its fibres. In other muscles fat provides the tenderness; in tongue it comes from the fibre arrangement.
Why does the cut look different?
As the fibres do not run in one direction, the cut does not show the regular lines of other pieces; a distinctive pattern forms instead.
How should it be sliced?
Thin gives the best result. In a thick slice the distinctive texture of tongue becomes too pronounced in the mouth.
