First Light Wagyu Ribeye MB 6+

Any beef from First Light Farms is already exceptional - it's grass-fed wagyu that's been bred for exceptional flavor and marbling. It's only a single-digit percentage of First Light's herd that are graded as Marble Score (MB) 6+, which is the highest grade they assign. From First Light themselves: "Less than .0000000001% of all the beef in the world is grass-fed MB6+. You can only get it from a small number of farms, in a small country, where it rains a lot, at the edge of the world - this is the steak you pull out for your Mum's presidential inauguration." That sums it up pretty nicely, but we'd add: If we had to pick one cut of meat for the rest of our lives, it would be grass-fed wagyu ribeye. Why? It's simply an incredible mix of flavor & texture/mouthfeel from both the muscle meat and the intramuscular fat (marbling). Incredible for grilling or cooked on the stove.

Read below about why First Light Farms' 100% grass-fed wagyu beef is so special. -- "Like steak with headphones on." That's Mark Schatzker, author of Steak: One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef, describing our new 100% grass-fed wagyu from First Light Farms in New Zealand - what he considers to be the best beef in the world. We agree. Why? First Light were the first farmers in the world to marry the incredible marbling that wagyu genetics can deliver with a 100% grass-fed diet on lush New Zealand grassland & healthy soils. That means you get the deep, sweet, nutty flavor of wagyu - developed by a lifelong of grazing healthy pasture - accentuated by rich, natural marbling. It took a decade of fine-tuning the process, but First Light nailed it. The end result is beef that is both incredibly delicious (winners of the World Steak Challenge for 4 out of the last 5 years) AND incredibly healthy - First Light's grass-fed wagyu ribeye tested at an incredible 1:1.3 omega 3 to 6 fatty acid ratio, a basically perfect score, meaning that this very nutrient-dense meat will not cause inflammation. (In fact, it was the healthiest ratio ever tested by the lab at the University of Toronto - which is not surprising given that grain-fed beef typically ranges from 1:9 to 1:25.)
