Wagyu F1 crossbreed:

F1 Wagyu is a crossbreed  of the well-known Wagyu cattle with a typical beef breed, such as the Simmental Fleckvieh, Black Angus or Pinzgauer cattle. F1 means that it is a direct cross between a purebred Wagyu cattle and another cattle breed. A purebred Wagyu cattle, in contrast, would be called Fullblood Wagyu.

In Wagyu cattle the intramuscular fat is particularly pronounced due to genetics and feeding this makes the meat buttery tender and it melts in the mouth. When crossed with a classic beef breed, the intramuscular fat content decreases somewhat, but the meat flavour is all the more pronounced.

Wagyu means translated Japanese cattle and is in the actual sense in Japan not a breed, but a crossbreed. From meat of Wagyu cattle from the Kobe region, the world-famous Kobe meat is produced after strict quality controls.
