Kolumbi is a full-cycle beef brand from Kuldīga — one of the few in Latvia where everything happens under one roof. We don’t buy and resell. We raise, care for, slaughter, age, and deliver ourselves. That’s not a choice — it’s the only way to guarantee quality we can put our name on.
Everything in one hand
At the core is SIA “Lāses AM” — a BRC-certified slaughterhouse with full electronic traceability, founded in 1996. Around 65% of our production reaches European Union markets. Kolumbi is our own brand — a herd of roughly 500 cattle grazing in Rumbas parish near Kuldīga.
We raise five breeds: Charolais, Simmental, Limousin, Angus, and Wagyu. Each has its own character, its own qualities. We grow our own grain — organically certified (LV-BIO-01).
Quality is not accidental
Our dry-aging runs a minimum of 21 days. This is not a gimmick — it is a process. During this time the meat loses moisture, flavours concentrate, tissues soften. The result is a deep, distinctive taste that cannot be rushed.
From organic pasture to aged steak on your table — we control every step ourselves. That is how we guarantee what others only promise.
