History

Founded in 1986, Monte do Pasto Group has more than 40 years of experience and leadership in free-range cattle farming.

Over the years, it has integrated other activities, such as animal feed production and meat production and distribution, accumulating knowledge and experience throughout the value chain, which ensures relevant competitive advantages in the sector and a unique ability to guarantee a high level of quality in its products and in the service it provides to its Partners and Customers.

Since 2015, the increase in recreation parks, technological investment, innovation and the focus on exports began a new cycle of strong expansion and growth.

In 2019, Monte do Pasto was acquired by the CESL Asia group. This acquisition allowed the creation of a Portugal-Macau platform to enhance the internationalization of agri-food production. In 2021 the company launched the True Born meat brand, positioning it for international premium retail.
