Grass-fed beef preserves pasture land which uses no chemical fertilisers, regenerates valuable topsoil, absorbs rain and provides sustainable food for cattle.
Grass-reared beef is nutrient-rich. It contains fewer calories, as well as more Omega-3, vitamins A and E and micro-nutrients. These benefits emanate from the animals living a healthy life in the field.
Our Irish dry aged beef has deep-rooted traditions born from a love of the Irish landscape, with an unrivalled passion for flavour and nutrition.
Antonio’s Bar & Grill is committed to utilising award- winning sustainable produce. We extend a special thanks to each and every farmer – they are the unsung heroes behind our industry.
We aim to give their amazing product the respect it deserves – from farm to table.
The unique Salt Moss Ageing process developed by Maurice Kettyle uses caves handcrafted from seaweed salt bricks to create a one-of-a-kind taste. The dry nature of Salt Aged beef means it caramelises quickly in the pan – enabling our chefs to create intensely flavoured dishes.
The godfather of dry aged beef, Maurice Kettyle spent many years perfecting the dry aging process Antonio’s use today. Our meat is hung in climate controlled salt caves for 28 days where the length of maturation is determined by expert dry agers who know just when a cut has reached optimum maturity to ensure an exquisite taste experience.
The Salt Moss process brings the essence of the Irish sea to the land, concentrating the flavour of the meat. Whilst the meat is cocooned in a Salt Moss cave, moisture is drawn from it – creating a tender, exquisitely flaky fat content.

Lower Carbon Footprint
Consumers are increasingly conscious of the ethics behind their food choices and seek ethical products such as Irish beef.
It is important to note that not all meat is created equal. Grass-fed animals in pastures recycle carbon back into the soil and take longer to mature, resulting in a premium quality meat with a lower carbon footprint.
Antonio’s is proud to work with Maurice Kettyle, whose strong values of tradition and integrity are reflected in his responsibly sourced, grass-fed beef from areas of outstanding natural beauty.
