You likely have heard of Wagyu beef<\/a>, which is known as the most tender and tasty beef on earth. Traditionally only found in Japan, Snake River Farms<\/a> brings this delicacy stateside. The online meat delivery brand is one of very few sources of American Wagyu, as well as the equally-revered Kurobuta pork. As a food and recipe writer, as well as a former chef, I needed to know if these cuts were worth the hype and hefty price tag.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Snake River Farms\" short_description=\"The pioneer of American Wagyu beef, Snake River Farms produces world-class beef by staying involved at every step of the way, from ranch to table.\" image=\"1940764\" image_credit=\"VIA MERCHANT\" pr_name=\"Snake River Farms\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.snakeriverfarms.com%2F\" pr_display_text=\"Shop Snake River Farms\" \/]\r\n

What is Snake River Farms?<\/h2>\r\n\"Snake\r\n\r\nSnake River Farms is a mail-order meat company that's most famous for being one of the few companies to raise and sell American Wagyu beef. This breed of cattle is one of the world's rarest, but also one of the most delicious. (And one of the most expensive!)\r\n\r\nTo produce true Wagyu beef, Snake River Farms upholds incredibly high standards. Raised humanely with environmentally sound practices, Snake River butchers and ships their meat straight from the farm. It's pricey when compared to supermarkets, but when compared to steakhouses, it's a downright bargain. (Not to mention higher quality.) Treat yourself to a Wagyu ribeye filet<\/a> and you'll see what we mean.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the Wagyu that made them famous, Snake River Farms offers another type of premium meat: Kurabuto pork. This breed of Berkshire pig also originates in Japan, where they are fed a controlled diet that's specifically designed to create juicier, more flavorful meat with unparalleled fat marbling.\r\n\r\nAside from these two ultra-premium meats, Snake River Farms offers less expensive USDA Choice and Prime beef, as well as pricey dry-aged beef and pre-smoked barbecue. They also have several premium seafood items, giving customers a surf-and-turf option.\r\n\r\nMeat and seafood from Snake River Farms come frozen and packaged in vacuum-sealed portions. Cuts arrive packed in a reusable thermal bag with dry ice and eco-friendly insulation in a 100% recyclable box.\r\n
