Wagyu fat
Wagyu fat is fat from Wagyu cattle, supplied rendered or unrendered for cooking and food formulations, with firmness and behaviour changing between forms.
About Wagyu fat
Wagyu fat is the rendered or unrendered fat from Wagyu cattle, but the name alone does not specify which form is meant. Unrendered fat is pale and firm when chilled, while rendered fat is liquid when warm and sets as it cools; both have a rich, fatty flavour.
It may be used for cooking or incorporated into foods, with the form and amount affecting its culinary role. Fat from different cuts and animals can vary in firmness and flavour, and rendered fat is not interchangeable with a piece of raw fat when comparing ingredients.
