Wagyu refers to a unique breed of cattle, originally native to Japan but now farmed in the US, Australia and several other countries. Selected for strength, the breed has a genetic inclination towards intense marbling (meaning white flecks of intramuscular fat). This marbling results in creamy, exquisite meat with superior taste and ultra-tender consistency, making for an unrivalled gourmet eating experience. Wagyu also offers numerous health benefits. In more recent years, Wagyu cattle have been found to possess higher degrees of unsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, making their meat much healthier than regular beef.
