This is the Wagyu You Keep Hearing About

Authentic Wagyu beef in the Japanese style is unlike anything you’ve ever had before. It’s a luxury delicacy once unavailable anywhere outside of Japan. But thanks to a few rare imports of Wagyu cattle in the last 30 years or so, Carney Wagyu Cattle Ranch is able to bring that experience directly to you.

Know What You’re Buying

There’s a lot of confusing information out there about Wagyu. If you’ve tried it before and didn’t understand all the fuss, it’s likely you didn’t get the real thing. Beef labeled as “American Wagyu” comes from crossbred cattle; it looks and tastes like a super-premium version of the USDA prime beef you’re used to: Good, but familiar.

Our authentic, 100% full-blood Wagyu is altogether different.

• It looks different, with dense and amazing marbling you didn’t even think was possible.
• It feels different – incredibly tender with a buttery texture that melts in your mouth.
• It tastes different, with a complex and layered umami flavor that gives way to sweet and nutty undertones.

It’s also as healthy as beef gets. The fat that makes Wagyu special is different from the saturated fat present in American and crossbred cattle. Authentic Wagyu is full of the same heart-healthy monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in olive oil and used medically to reduce cholesterol. It’s soft and melts at below-body temperature to give Wagyu its astounding marbling and unique taste and texture.
