The Highest Quality Ingredients Enhance the Experience- The SNAKE RIVER FARMS experience is enhanced by a careful selection of only the highest quality complimentary ingredients. This allows the beef to shine. The Experience is a Gift.
SNAKE RIVER FARMS is a family-owned business, which began over a decade ago with a small herd of Wagyu cattle from the Kobe region of Japan. The Wagyu bulls were crossed with premium American Black Angus to form a proprietary herd that has developed into one of the finest groups of Wagyu/Angus cross cattle in the U.S. Often referred to as American Kobe Beef, this unique breed was bred specifically to deliver the finest eating quality. Every step in the production process is strictly controlled to ensure that this level of distinction is achieved. SNAKE RIVER FARMS also produces American Kurobuta Pork, 100% pure all-natural Berkshire pork, raised by a small network of family farmers dedicated to delivering only the best.

Rich and Supple with a unique flavor and umami
Generally small framed and have lower growth rates, but the meat quality, in regards to marbling grade and tenderness, is excellent.
Savory, Slightly Sweet, Robust
The Alligator has multiple cuts with the tail meat being the most prized for quick cooking methods, and the legs, ribs, and other cuts have been reserved for sausages and slower methods like stews, soups, jambalaya, and gumbos. The description of Gator meat is as varied as its culinary applications. Personally, (being from a Gulf state), I like to say it has a resemblance of rabbit... if rabbit were a fish. It has a texture of chicken crossed with squid, and a hint of crab flavor. You can make your own comparisons and analogies once it hits your test kitchen.
Rich, Silky
Watch your fat back, bacon! There's another cheeky slice making the scene whose sole, plump purpose in your kitchen is to turn sow's ears into silky, succulent purses. Originally a delicacy in Umbria, La Quercia's Iowa-bred meat is simply seasoned with rosemary, black and white pepper, and sea salt. It's a traditional staple that you'll want to keep on hand once you've tried it. Depending on how you're using guanciale, you may want it sliced thinly or whole to cut into chunks. With that in mind, we'll ship you a 1/2 pound piece whole that you can slice at home with a sharp chef's knife or cut into chunks. Since it's so rich, it pairs well with big red wines that can stand up to the flavors it deepens. It's best used in cooking, particularly traditional Italian favorites like spaghetti alla carbonara and pasta all'amatriciana, and adds an extra-luxurious texture to sauces and stews.
