Shropshire-based Wyndford Wagyu produces the highest quality, 100% full-blood wagyu beef and, after being awarded a 3-star accolade at this year's prestigious Great Taste Awards, has solidified its position as a cut above the rest.

The brand’s Denver Steak received high praise from the judges, commenting on its melt-in-the-mouth tenderness, deep caramelisation, and generous marbling. Wyndford Wagyu’s Sirloin Steak also claimed a 1-star seal of approval.

Stealing the show, the award-winning Denver Steak is a lesser-known cut from the beef chuck primal and is famous for rich roasts. With extensive marbling, it’s best cooked longer to caramelise the fat and is ideal served cooked, sliced, and shared. "This is a stunner!" said one judge, who loved its "butter-rich, deeply succulent, and incredibly beefy notes”.

"Our wagyu steaks are a source of immense pride, and we are absolutely thrilled that our Denver and Sirloin steaks have picked up such outstanding accolades at this year's Great Taste Awards – a true validation of the unparalleled quality and exquisite taste our product delivers," said Jess Edwards, commercial director at Wyndford Wagyu. This achievement is an opportunity to elevate genuine 100% wagyu beef and firmly place it on the map, celebrating its exceptional status among connoisseurs far and wide."

Renowned for its superior eating quality, wagyu beef originated in Japan with its popularity rising in the western world in recent years. Wyndford Wagyu, driven by a passion for preserving the breed’s authenticity, prides itself in reaching the top 1% of the breed worldwide, which comes as result of meeting rigorous certification standards, including the exclusive use of full-blood wagyu genetics. Based in Shropshire, the herd is bred and raised with care. The passionate team prioritises animal welfare and is dedicated to ethical, sustainable and regenerative farming practices.
