Snake River Farms Offers Chefs a Consistent Supply of Distinctive Kobe Beef(Boise, ID) - For 200 years, the people of Kobe, Japan have raised the most exquisite beef in the world. This highly marbled Kobe beef has superior flavor and tenderness-beef fit for the emperors. Now this delicacy is being produced in the United States by Snake River Farms in Idaho.A national treasure of Japan, the Wagyu breed of cattle (the source of fine Kobe) wasn't exported until 1991. In that year, Bob Rebholtz, the original owner of Snake River Farms, brought a Wagyu bull to Idaho to breed with America's renowned Black Angus. American Kobe Beef was born and is now being served in the finest restaurants in the United States, Japan and countries around the world. With its growing herd, Snake River Farms has become the largest producer of American Kobe Beef, offering a consistent supply of this distinctive menu item. Chef James Faber of Delice Catering in San Francisco says, "Snake River Farms American Kobe Beef is a perfect signature dish to showcase my creativity." With a marbling level exceeding USDA Prime, American Kobe Beef is tender, juicy and full of buttery flavors. From tenderloin to boneless short ribs to all-natural gourmet hamburger, Snake River Farms offers many cuts in two grades to accommodate all foodservice needs. Snake River Farms grading is based on the Japanese system, and ranks higher than USDA Prime. Traditionally considered to be center of the plate, American Kobe Beef has found its way into other dishes on the menu. Restaurants across the country have introduced new appetizer and salad items highlighting this exquisite beef. Unlike most beef producers, Snake River Farms carefully controls the production process from start to finish. While American Kobe cattle aren't treated to daily massages like their counterparts in Japan, they still are pampered. The cattle are raised in a natural environment and fed a varied diet of barley, golden wheat, and alfalfa. Their feeding program runs three times longer than traditional beef and is completely hormone free. The extraordinary care of this special breed makes Snake River Farm's American Kobe beef the premium item for discriminating menus. # # #
