Ribeye Rubia Gallega 400 g - intense flavor of mature beef
This is a ribeye steak from the rib roast of the Rubia Gallega breed, selected by the producer TXOGITXU. A key feature of this meat is that it often comes from older cows, which naturally build the texture and flavor of the meat over years of life.
As a result, the beef has a more complex, deep flavor profile than standard young meat. Short, controlled aging (about 2–4 weeks) further enhances tenderness and flavor concentration, without overwhelming aromas typical of very long aging.

Flavor, texture, and fat content
Ribeye from Rubia Gallega is a steak with high marbling, meaning visible fat streaks in the muscle. During cooking, the fat renders, giving the meat juiciness, tenderness, and deep flavor.
Thanks to being from older animals, the flavor is more intense, slightly mature and fuller than in standard beef. This is a steak for those seeking distinct character, not just delicacy.
