Beef Liver
Beef liver is the whole bovine liver, trimmed of the gall bladder and major vessels and frozen for export. Offal Exp supplies it from Argentine cattle processed at our SENASA-approved plant in Burzaco, Buenos Aires.
About the product
Liver is the highest-volume item in most beef offal programmes. It is soft, dark and dense, with a high moisture content and a short working window once thawed, so it is handled and frozen quickly after slaughter. Colour and texture are the two things buyers assess first: a good liver is even in colour, firm rather than soft, and free of the greenish staining that follows contact with bile.
Because the liver is a filtration organ, importing markets often apply specific residue and inspection requirements to it that they do not apply to skeletal muscle. Tell us the destination country early, because that determines which certificates need to accompany the shipment.
Applications
- Retail and foodservice — sliced or portioned for direct consumption
- Processing — pâté, liver sausage, terrines and emulsified products
- Pet food manufacturing, where liver is valued as a palatant
For portioned retail formats see beef liver slices tray and beef liver 1kg tray.

Frequently asked questions
Is the gall bladder removed?
Yes. The gall bladder is removed at processing. Bile contact stains the tissue and affects flavour, so it is one of the standard quality checks on liver.
Is beef liver supplied whole or sliced?
We supply whole liver in our raw line and sliced or tray-packed formats in our retail line. Say which you need when you enquire.
Where does Offal Exp beef liver come from?
From cattle raised and slaughtered in Argentina, processed at Establishment No. 4407 in Burzaco, Buenos Aires, under SENASA inspection.
Are there extra requirements for importing beef liver?
Often, yes. Because liver is a filtration organ, several markets apply residue testing and certification requirements to it specifically. Give us the destination country with your enquiry and we will confirm what documentation applies.
