Description
The Importance of Marbling The distinctive feature of Wagyu is its unparalleled marbling, which refers to the presence of fine intramuscular fat streaks. These streaks give the meat a marbled appearance and significantly contribute to its tenderness and extraordinary taste. The Wagyu Ribeye, sourced from a less stressed area of the cattle, boasts particularly fine and uniform marbling, resulting in an unmatched tasting experience. Thanks to its anatomical position and marbling, the Wagyu Ribeye is renowned for its exceptional tenderness. It is a cut that literally melts in your mouth, making every bite a true pleasure. Wagyu Farming in Spain according to Finca Santa Rosalía Patxi Garmendia, a pioneer of Wagyu farming in Spain, imported over 20 years ago purebred embryos and stallions from the best Wagyu genetic lines. With dedication and commitment, he has managed to create exceptional genetics, which are fully expressed in the "Santa Rosalía" Wagyu. Finca Santa Rosalía offers its animals over one hundred square meters of space per head, with facilities equipped with piped music and biodegradable bedding that is then transformed into organic fertilizer for the farm. The feed, a crucial aspect, is formulated by Patxi Garmendia himself and combines green forage, cereal flakes, and self-produced organic wine, ensuring not only the health of the animals but also the excellence of their meat. Aware of the environmental impact of farming, Patxi Garmendia has developed an exclusive feed for his Wagyu. This feed, free of additives and highly digestible, minimizes the production of polluting gases, making Santa Rosalía meat a sustainable and healthy product. Patxi Garmendia's philosophy extends to the last moment of the animals' lives. At Santa Rosalía, slaughtering is stress-free, with careful transport and the presence of the usual farm staff, ensuring the animals' well-being until the end. Patxi Garmendia has not only created a sustainable and respectful farming model but personally oversees every phase of the process, from breeding to packaging, maintaining high standards of quality, health, and traceability. His name, synonymous with innovation and commitment, has revolutionized the way Wagyu meat is produced, turning Finca Santa Rosalía into a global benchmark. Pairings: Given its tenderness and high intrinsic value, it is recommended to cook the Wagyu Ribeye with quick high-temperature methods that enhance its organoleptic qualities. Grilled, on a griddle, or in a well-heated pan, the Wagyu Ribeye will cook quickly while maintaining its juiciness and tenderness. It is important to remember to temper the meat at room temperature before cooking. This will promote even cooking and uniform heat distribution within the cut. Additionally, it is advisable to add salt only at the end of cooking to prevent the meat from losing its natural juices. Storage: store in the refrigerator
