 While regular beef may be in short supply, now there’s Kosher Kobe
Dallas…While spot shortages for beef persist in many parts of the nation, a glatt kosher purveyor is making Kosher "Kobe" available for the very first time. A.D. Rosenblatt Glatt Kosher Meats has partnered with Strube Ranch to produce the first ever Glatt Kosher Wagyu ("Kobe") beef for the Kosher consumer. The product is certified Glatt Kosher by the Orthodox Union and the Chicago Rabbinical Council and is accepted by rabbinical organizations from coast to coast.
Wagyu, a Japanese breed of cattle, is extremely tasty and tender with a concentration of flavor that arguably exceeds other breeds. Beef producers know that that the ability of the Wagyu to marble is genetic. Strube Ranch cattle are raised without hormones or antibiotics. There are no animal by-products in their cattle feed, ever. The cattle are raised in an all-natural environment – wide open pastures, lush green grass, fresh water and free-choice minerals. Strube cattle are fed for 350-400 days in an all-natural, sheltered and low-stress environment. "It is another sign of the expanding options for the selective and sensitive Glatt Kosher consumer," said Yaakov Rosenblatt of A.D. Rosenblatt Meats."We are pleased to be part of this initiative." The product is available at fine stores and restaurants in New York City and will soon be available cost to coast.
