These briskets are graded USDA Choice, the second highest level of marbling recognized by the USDA.
Beef sold in the U.S. is graded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). There are eight total grades and Choice is the second highest level.
The USDA describes Choice as “high quality, but has less marbling than Prime” which means our beef at this level is excellent. Whenever possible, we work to use beef from the top one third of Choice for the highest quality possible within the grade.
Marbling, or intramuscular fat, is the most important factor used to grade beef in the U.S. and around the world. This is determined by a visual inspection of the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat between the 12th and 13th rib. Historically, this single inspection provides a correct indicator of the entire carcass.
This full brisket is identified as a 120 Beef Brisket, Deckle-Off, Boneless by the North American Meat Processors Association (NAMP). This is made up of the flat or deep pectoral muscle (NAMP 120A) and the point or superficial pectoral muscle (NAMP 120B. The deckle, the hard fat and intercostal meat on the inside surface of the brisket, is removed. This is frequently referred to as a full packer brisket.
Fast fact: Each beef carcass has just two briskets. One on each side of the chest area. Despite the barbecue mythology, there is no discernible difference between the right and left briskets.
