Wagyu beef is synonymous with high-quality flavor and a high price to boot, but the Tesco Finest Wagyu range has been launched by the retailer as a private label lineup of options that will help to democratize access to the meat. The range includes the Wagyu Ribeye, Wagyu Sirloin, Wagyu Fillet and the Wagyu Rump, which are each arriving at more than 100 locations in the UK. The products are characterized by their impressive flavor, marbling and tenderness, and also come with specific cooking instructions to help consumers create restaurant-quality results from home.
Executive Chef at Tesco Jamie Robinson spoke on the Tesco Finest Wagyu range saying, "We know our customers are increasingly looking for high-quality, restaurant-style meals they can conveniently cook at home, and we wanted to offer something really special. By expanding our Wagyu offering as part of our Tesco Finest Steakhouse range, we’re bringing an exceptional level of quality to more people at a price point that feels more accessible.”
