What is marbling? Is this unhealthy?

What is Wagyu Wagyu (pronounced wag-you ) is a breed of cattle native to Japan and is considered one of Japan s national treasures. The Japanese word Wagyu can be translated to mean Japanese beef as wa means Japanese and gyu means beef. Characteristically, Wagyu beef is highly marbled. This means that the muscle is finely interspersed with monounsaturated fat. This marbling gives the beef its melt in the mouth moisture and tenderness. When cooked, the marbling is absorbed into the muscle and gives the meat its tenderness and flavour. The marbling reappears once the meat is cooled. How is Wagyu beef different to beef regularly consumed in Australia? The quality and flavour of Wagyu meat is different from other types of beef commonly eaten in Australia. Some may describe the beef as a smooth caramel / buttery flavour that is intensely sweet and delicate. This tenderness and flavour results in Wagyu beef being labelled the premium quality grade. Prior to Wagyu entering the Australian market, the Australian grading system was 0 to 6, with the best of the Australian breeds including Angus, averaging about 2. Since the introduction of Wagyu into Australia, the Australian grading system has been increased to 9. What is marbling? Is this unhealthy? The heavy marbling in Wagyu beef, which is described as an intra-muscular deposit of energy in a lace-like lattice, has been found to contain monounsaturated fats. Research has shown that the monounsaturated fats in Wagyu can assist in reducing cholesterol levels in the body. The marbling is also the reason for the unique flavour, texture and moisture of Wagyu beef. The monounsaturated fatty acids have a very low melting point (less than 7 degrees Celsius), which means that the beef literally melts in your mouth. Subsequently Wagyu beef is lean and healthy, without compromising taste.
