Tại sao Thịt bò Matsusaka Wagyu lại Đắt Nhất Thế Giới | Rất Đắt

Grown exclusively in the Mie prefecture in Japan, Matsusaka cattle are raised so their fat achieves the lowest melting point possible. The finest cuts of Matsusaka wagyu have a melting point of 12 degrees Celsius, 8 degrees less than Kobe. These cows are so valuable that in 2002 one fetched 50 million yen, over $330,000, at auction. These high prices are not about just how the cows live, but how long. In the quest for the ultimate marbling, farmers in Matsusaka are gambling with fate as they try to extend cows' lives above their average lifespans, at the risk of killing them prematurely. So, is it worth raising cattle for too long? And why is Matsusaka wagyu so expensive?
