Rubia Gallega – Spain
Rubia Gallega translates to English as ‘Galician blonde’. It was awarded the name because of the colour of its characteristic golden mantle of fat. It is a breed of cattle indigenous to Galicia in Northwest Spain where it grazes on the lush meadows there for at least 8 years putting on layers of marbled fat before being slaughtered. The unique flavour of this steak originates from the algae the cattle naturally feed on, transported to Iberian coasts by Ocean currents. The beef is further dry-aged for 40 days to enhance its unique flavour.
