Tenderloin Rubia Gallega 200 g - ultimate tenderness with character
The tenderloin steak is the most delicate piece of beef. In the case of Rubia Gallega from TXOGITXU, it gains an additional dimension of flavor thanks to the meat coming from older cows, which naturally build its structure and aroma over the years.
This gives you a rare combination: a very soft tenderloin structure and a more distinct flavor than standard young beef. Short aging (approx. 2–4 weeks) improves tenderness and stabilizes the meat's taste.

Taste, structure, and fat content
Tenderloin is meat with very low fat content, which translates to exceptional tenderness but also a higher risk of drying out.
In the case of Rubia Gallega, the taste is somewhat more complex and deeper, although it remains more subtle than in ribeye or rump. It is the ideal choice for those who value softness over fat intensity.
