AUSTRALIAN MADE GLOBALLY INSPIRED
Owned and operated in Australia for over 60 years, Country Cooked International is a division of University Food Group. We specialise in sous vide and oven cooked proteins. Our premium meats and flavours are the star of any meal and exported across the world.
We source meats from all over Australia to deliver the best quality product. Through our state-of-the art sous vide process, we cook the finest protein which has a shelf life of up to 16 weeks chilled or perfect as a frozen thaw back product. The combination of our expertise, history of delivering, and demand for Australian produce makes us the perfect export partner.
FINEST AUSTRALIAN PRODUCE
We only use the best produce. The combination of Australia’s ideal environment, diverse range of breeds, best feeding practices and grading systems, produces premium products that are highly valued around the world.
Optimal Environment Australia’s vast landscapes and climate diversity offer an ideal setting for raising livestock. From lush pastures to open plains, the environment fosters healthy and stress-free animals, resulting in superior meat quality.
Best Feeding Practices Commitment to high-quality feed and ethical practices in raising animals ensures the development of great tasting, nutritional and tender meats.
Grading Systems Rigorous grading systems and quality standards set by Australian authorities ensure consistency and excellence in every cut of meat.
Diverse Range of Breeds Australia is home to a variety of cattle, sheep, and other livestock breeds. This diversity allows for a broad spectrum of flavours, textures, and characteristics in the meat, catering to various culinary preferences worldwide.
Global Recognition The premium quality of Australian cooked meats has earned worldwide recognition and has made them highly sought-after in international markets.
Sustainable Practices From reducing carbon footprints to water conservation, Australian producers prioritise sustainability, implementing innovative and environmentally friendly practices.
GLOBAL FLAVOURS

KEY BENEFITS
MINIMAL PREPARATION
We have done the hard work, so all the kitchen team need to do is add their creative flair to create something an amazing meal.
Not only do our products cut down on preparation time saving labour but the cost of overheads including electricity and water are also reduced.
BIG ON VALUE
Our process is designed to pack more value into every product. Country Cooked butchers trim and prepare the meat leaving nothing but the best cuts.
Our slow cooked sous vide process then captures the meat’s juices, providing greater yield, value for money and customer satisfaction every time.
GREATER YIELD GREATER PROFIT
Conventional cooking significantly reduces protein weight as the juices evaporate. This creates yield loss and impacts on the taste of products.
Through our slow-cooked sous vide process there is minimal weight loss resulting in receiving more for your money plus a higher quality product.
RESTAURANT QUALITY PRODUCTS
We not only supply products to the food service industry but also create grocery retail products. We have several established brands but can develop bespoke brands for any market.
Country Cooked retail products currently come in 300g and 1kg packs. Our 300g packs have the convenience of a tray to re-heat in a microwave, oven or air fryer. We have the flexibility in both retail and food service to cater for various packaging options and sizes.
