Olive Wagyu
Olive Wagyu from Kagawa is the rarest beef in the world, finished on olives for a unique flavor.
Unmatched quality, taste & health benefits ― Olive Wagyu is almost mythical. Raised on upcycled olive pulp by a few farmers in remote Japan. With only 2000 cattle, it's hard to get & sells out fast. Rarely found even in Japan.

The rarest wagyu on earth. Trusted by Crowd Cow since 2018.
A herd of just 2,200 cattle. A monthly harvest measured in dozens, not thousands. Finished on toasted olive pulp from groves along the Seto Inland Sea, Olive Wagyu has an extraordinarily low fat-melting point of just 77°F — well below body temperature. The result: beef that literally melts on your tongue, with bold umami depth that no other cut can match. Crowd Cow was the first to bring it to the U.S. in 2018 and remains one of the most trusted sources.

小豆島の物語 The Olive Wagyu Story
A New Chapter in Wagyu History
For centuries, Japan perfected the art of Wagyu — developing regional varieties like Kobe, Matsusaka, and Omi. But Olive Wagyu is a modern revelation, born on Shodoshima Island in Japan's Seto Inland Sea.
In 2006, cattle farmer Masaki Ishii had an idea: what if the very olives that defined Shodoshima could enhance Wagyu? He drew upon an old technique of drying persimmons by air in the Seto Inland Sea breezes — laying olive pulp out on rocks by the shore. Three years of trial and error produced a toasted, nutrient-dense feed his cattle loved.
In 2018, Crowd Cow founder Joe Heitzeberg traveled to Shodoshima to meet the farmers firsthand — forging the relationships that made Crowd Cow the first company to import Olive Wagyu to the United States. Every order includes a certificate of authenticity and harvest date, because when beef is this rare, provenance is everything.

Curated sets that pair the world’s rarest beef with premium seafood and essential cuts — ready for an unforgettable meal.
科学 Why Olive Wagyu Tastes Like Nothing Else
The olive-rich diet transforms the meat at a molecular level. Higher concentrations of monounsaturated fats produce an almost buttery texture and a nutty-sweet finish unlike any other Wagyu variety.
The flavor profile is distinct: deep umami, a clean sweetness, and a richness that coats the palate without heaviness. Where standard A5 Wagyu can overwhelm with pure fat, Olive Wagyu delivers complexity — layers of flavor that unfold with each bite.
