Our cattle spent spring, summer & autumn in Thriplow, getting fat and happy. 

Wagyu beef...Wondering what makes it so special?

 

In a nut shell, it’s all about fat. Wagyu meat comes from a group of Japanese breeds revered for an especially high level of fat marbling.

 

We are not just talking about any old fat – Wagyu contains a soft fat with a very low melting point, due in part to its high proportion of monounsaturated fats, to go along with high levels of omega 3 and 6.

 

The fact is that fat is where the flavour resides, and this dissolving fat makes for the juiciest, richest beef in the world.

Keep an eye out for Wagyu beef on the menu at The Green Man.
