The Origin of Excellence
Wagyu, meaning “Japanese cow”, originates from Japan and is world-renowned for its extraordinary marbling, tenderness, and flavor. For centuries, Wagyu cattle were selectively bred for their endurance and strength, developing a unique ability to store fat within their muscle tissue. This fine marbling is what gives Wagyu its rich, buttery taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture — qualities that have made it one of the most sought-after meats in the world.
What “100% Full Blood Wagyu” Means
Not all Wagyu beef is the same. “Full Blood Wagyu” refers to cattle whose genetics trace entirely back to pure Japanese Wagyu bloodlines, with no crossbreeding at any point. This distinction ensures the highest level of quality, consistency, and authenticity.
At Rolling Hills Wagyu, every animal in our herd is DNA-verified and registered as 100% Full Blood American Wagyu, meaning their lineage is pure and preserved — delivering the true Wagyu experience, as intended.
Health Benefits of Wagyu
Beyond its taste, Wagyu offers a more beneficial fat profile than standard beef. It’s rich in monounsaturated fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) — all of which contribute to heart health and overall wellness. This balance makes Wagyu not just indulgent, but a smarter choice for those who appreciate both quality and nutrition.
