Japanese
Wagyu

The cattle freely graze in the vast pastures near Mount Aso (an active volcano). It offers an exotic stop-over for the gourmand seeing to the taste the best in Japan and the world.
Kumamoto cattle produce beautifully marbled and buttery beef with luxurious, creamy intra-muscular fat.

Australian Wagyu
Our Australian Wagyu is derived from cattle herd that was founded on champion Wagyu bulls and cows that came to Australia from Japan more than two decades ago. The farm has carefully built on foundational Wagyu bloodlines to produce the most highly credentialed cattle to ever leave Japan.
The Wagyu is uniquely Australian, born wild and roaming across huge expanses of native Australian grasses before being finished on quality cereal grains to achieve that rich & buttery marbling that is normally associated with Wagyu beef. It is this blend of feed and breeding that gives this Australian Wagyu its signature taste and unique mix of marbling and lean. The grass and grain work together to deliver intense marbling, complexity and depth of flavour. The farm brings together expertise, craft and scale to create a singular eating experience every time and their people have a collective obsession with crafting the finest Wagyu in the world, from their home to your plate.

It is a luxurious beef produced by cattle naturally and carefully raised on the beautiful pastures of Southern Chile where natural conditions within idyllic countryside favour the raising of beef cattle on pasture. The farm uses Japanese Wagyu genetics such as Fukutsuru 068, Hirashigetayasu and Michifuku, but a more extensive farming technique.

USDA
The USDA grades (Select, Choice and Prime) are how beef is graded in the USA based on quality. The USDA we have on offer comes from the finest hand selected Black Angus Cattle. We generally only stock Prime grade which accounts for less than 2% of beef production in the US.
It is produced from young, well-fed and well exercised cattle. It has abundant and exquisite marbling resulting in an incredible flavour and juicy texture. It is generally sold in hotels and restaurants. The beef grading is validated by highly skilled professional graders who ensure it is of the highest standard. Simply put, it is the best beef available in the US and a must try for all steak connoisseurs.
UK
Dry Aged
Dry aging is a process where large cuts of beef are aged for weeks and sometimes months before being trimmed into steaks. Moisture is pulled out of the natural enzymes in the beef and breaks the muscles down over time resulting in a more tender steak. It also enhances the flavour of the beef as the moisture lost through the dry aging process concentrates the flavour
Our 28 day+ dry aging process produces an incredible and deep beefy flavour whilst producing melt in the mouth tenderness. All the cattle are traditional UK breeds, from the well known Aberdeen Angus to the more exclusive breeds such as Dexter, Longhorn or Shorthorn. All our UK beef is 100% grass-fed whilst still producing a high level of marbling.
