Getting to know Iberian Wagyu.

Wagyu is a bovine breed originating from Kobe, Japan. It is also known as Japanese Black. The name comes from the kanji (wa, meaning “harmony” but historically closely linked to Japan) and (ushi or gyu, cow/cattle/beef). The meaning is, quite simply, “Japanese cow.” Its meat is highly prized for its flavor, tenderness, and juiciness, and is used in high-end “gourmet” dishes. Wagyu cuts are identified by their intense marbling—the infiltration of fat within the muscle fibers—which provides its unique flavor attributes when cooked. Within one of the most beautiful natural areas of Extremadura, surrounded by reservoirs and pastures (dehesas), this meat project has forged the Iberian Wagyu variety. Iberian Wagyu is the result of crossbreeding the Japanese breed with native Iberian breeds and raising them in extensive farming. Through their website, you can not only learn about this breed and its meat but also purchase various products made from it.
