The most valuable meat in the world comes from Japan: Original Wagyu cattle are not only characterized by the high degree of marbling of their meat. Compared to other types of cattle, such as the Angus cattle, they are particularly large and sturdy in stature. A maximum of 34 cows may be kept per farm to ensure that the animals receive enough care. Artificial growth hormones are dispensed with in rearing, as is antibiotics. Their meat is not only low in cholesterol and rich in nutrients, it also tastes wonderfully aromatic and melts on the tongue. In contrast to other cattle, the fat in the meat of Wagyū cattle is not punctiform, but distributed evenly in very fine marbling in the muscle meat.
