Australian Agricultural Company Limited’s (AAco) flagship Wagyu brand Master Kobe has reaffirmed its claim as Australia’s best beef, receiving a gold medal at the prestigious Sydney Royal Fine Food Show on Friday.
This follows last month’s wins at the Royal Queensland Food and Wine Show where Master Kobe was named ’Australia’s Best Steak’ and ’Champion of Show’.
David Farley, AAco Chief Executive and Managing Director said the awards reinforced the company’s approach to its products in focusing on quality, safety and consistency through the entire supply chain.
"We are continuing to see increased demand for our Wagyu products both domestically and internationally and our innovations across our entire production process ensure our Master Kobe continues to be benchmarked as Australia’s best beef all around the world," said Mr Farley.
"AAco remains at the forefront of Wagyu production in Australia and winning awards such as this are a testament to our people and their efforts in continuously seeking and striving for excellence in all of our products."
AAco is renowned for having Australia’s largest Wagyu herd, comprising the most highly credentialed full-blood Japanese Black Wagyu ever to leave Japan. AAco has more than 30,000 head of Wagyu on the Darling Downs in southern Queensland.
Mr Farley once again acknowledged the contribution of Pat Dempsey, AAco’s General Manager Beef Group and Greg Gibbons, General Manager Farming and Feedlots in achieving a consistently high standard across all AAco’s products which has resulted in this award.
