Wagyu Breed
Highest quality meat
The meat of the Wagyu beef breed, of Japanese origin, from the city of Kobe, is one of the most select in the world due to its unique flavor, tenderness and juiciness characteristics.
The meat of this animal is identified by its characteristic marbling or fatty infiltration in the muscle fibers, which gives it a soft texture that seems to melt on the palate. Its aroma is unique and slightly sweet, and its flavor is intense and pleasant. For this reason, it is considered by many experts to be “the best meat in the world.”
Wagyu breeding in Spain
Patxi Garmendia, a visionary in the world of livestock, embarked more than 20 years ago on an exciting adventure: importing pure stallions and embryos from the purest Wagyu lines. Their dedication and effort bore fruit in their own exceptional genetics, whose maximum expression is found in the “Santa Rosalía” Wagyu.
With a pioneering vision, Patxi Garmendia has transformed Finca Santa Rosalía into a paradise for these animals. Each Wagyu enjoys more than one hundred square meters of space, facilities with piped music and biodegradable beds, which become organic fertilizer for the farm. Feeding, a crucial aspect, is Patxi's own formulation, combining green forage, cereal flakes and organic wine from its own production, guaranteeing not only the health of the animals but also the excellence of their meat.
Aware of the environmental impact of livestock farming, Patxi Garmendia has developed an exclusive food for its Wagyu. This food, free of additives and highly digestible, minimizes the production of polluting gases, turning Santa Rosalía meat into a sustainable and healthy product.
Patxi Garmendia's philosophy extends to the last moment of animals' lives. In Santa Rosalía, the slaughter is carried out stress-free, with careful transportation and accompaniment by the usual farm staff, ensuring animal well-being until the end.
Patxi Garmendia has not only created a sustainable and respectful livestock farming model, but also personally supervises each stage of the process, from breeding to packaging, maintaining high standards of quality, health and traceability. Its name, synonymous with innovation and commitment, has revolutionized the way Wagyu meat is produced, turning Finca Santa Rosalía into a global benchmark.
Nutritional properties and benefits
Furthermore, its fat is strictly fury for human consumption, as it contains a high percentage of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic or conjugated linoleic acids (omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9), which help the immune system and cellular development. In addition, it also helps prevent, among others, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis or high blood pressure.
Therefore, as part of a healthy and balanced diet, the meat of this bovine breed is a perfect alternative for anyone who wants to take care of their physical and mental health.
