What is Wagyu Beef
Originating in Japan, where Wagyu translates to “Japanese cow”. This breed of cattle is celebrated for its proclivity towards intense marbling. This network of fat translates to beef with exceptionally rich and savory flavor and a texture that’s often compared to butter.
Not only are these Japanese cows bred to produce an extreme degree of marbling, but the veins themselves are substantially lower in saturated fats than those found in other varieties of beef. They also have a higher ratio of monounsaturated fats like oleic acid. These are the “good fats” associated with improved cholesterol and lower risk of heart disease. In short, eating this exceptional meat is delicious AND offers health benefits!
About Wagyu Beef
Raising Wagyu cattle has been perfected and refined into an art form. A highly regulated process, everything from their specialized diets to their daily care (which can include massages to enhance the quality of the meat) is performed within strict parameters. This exceptional effort and attention to detail during the cow's life results in beef so superior it stands in a category all its own. It’s not beef — it’s Wagyu.
