What is American Wagyu Beef?

 

American Wagyu Beef is the result of crossbreeding Japanese Wagyu with the highest quality American Black Angus cattle.

 

Snake River Farms maintain purebred Wagyu cow and bull herds from renowned Japanese bloodlines. These imported cattle are the foundation of the Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef program. Snake River Farms cross-breeds these intensely marbled and highly prized purebred Wagyu cattle with traditional Angus cattle breeds.

 

Snake River Farms creates melt-in-your-mouth cuts with intense intramuscular marbling that is comparable to Japanese Wagyu and a meaty flavor profile. The result is a perfect blend of famous Wagyu buttery marbling and the robust beef flavor that American beef is known for.

 

“It has the richness of Japanese beef with lots of marbling, but the flavor is more akin to what we’re used to in America. You can give me a pound of the best Wagyu from Japan, or a pound of this American Wagyu beef from Snake River Farms every time.” - Chef Wolfgang Puck

Snake River Answers Questions:

 

Do you age your products?
Yes. All of our cuts are wet-aged 21+ days before they are packaged and shipped to our customers.

 

What is wet aging?
Wet aging – or carefully marinating a piece of meat in its own juices while preventing it from being exposed to the outside air – makes for a juicier, more tender piece of meat.
