The vision for Hero Certified Burgers was not born with the intention to reinvent the hamburger. As a matter of fact, it stemmed from our Founder’s search for an all-natural Angus burger with a real slice of cheese. Trained as a cheesemaker, John F. Lettieri, found it nearly impossible to find an Angus burger with real cheese, outside of high-end restaurants and hotels. That search for all natural, real food resulted in the birth of Hero Certified Burgers. Simply put, we wanted to source the best quality beef and ingredients for our burgers, ingredients that reflect our own personal philosophy of sustainability while respecting both the land and animal. For us, it’s not just about the food that we serve but how we bring it to the table. At Hero Certified Burgers, we only ever use on all-natural, fully-traceable 100% Canadian Angus beef raised range-fed without hormones or antibiotics. We do this because it tastes better, and it's better for you - with no chemicals, fillers or additives. We’re proud to announce our partnership with Beretta Farms as our exclusive Canadian Angus beef supplier. Partnering with Beretta Farms was a natural fit, allowing us to maintain the same attributes while increasing local production and attaching an incredible all Canadian story to our brand.
