Picanha Wagyu: Luxurious Sirloin Cap from Southern Africa
Picanha, also known as sirloin cap, is an iconic beef cut, considered more valuable than even tenderloin in Brazil. Cut from the top sirloin, it is distinguished by a resilient structure and intense flavor. The key to its legend is the characteristic, thick fat layer – especially valuable with Wagyu Beef genetics.
Marbling BMS 8-9: True Gold
The cut we offer comes from the Whispering Dunes farm in Namibia. Thanks to cross-breeding with Sanga cattle and an 800-day feeding cycle (grass-fed/grain-fed), it achieves an extremely high marbling score of BMS 8-9. This level of marbling guarantees the buttery texture and juiciness that Wagyu is famous for. This makes Picanha ideal for churrasco and whole roasting.
Application and Savings
By opting for a whole beef primal cut, you gain: full control over the slicing (you decide how to cut thick steaks) and savings on portioning costs. Picanha Wagyu is perfectly suited for low & slow, but its classic use is grilling whole.
