As you can see I've tried almost every single wagyu there is out there but there's
one that I have not tried yet. But that will end today. This is the olive wagyu
experience and we're going to give it a try today and let you know how we
like it. So let's do it!
After purchasing it from an online retailer this is the unboxing.
This is the olive Wagyu as you saw it it came with dry ice and it is a hundred
percent frozen. As it states on the label it is olive wagyu A4. Now if you're
wondering it why it's not a five they do not have that available. The highest
grading you can order is up to A4, and that's what I have today. I know
you're gonna ask me for price after all the discounts were added it comes out to
a hundred and seventy-six dollars per pound. In each one of these steaks cost a
hundred and fifty four dollars and fifty cents.
All of these informative flyers came inside of the box and as some people
claim they say that it is the best in the world and I can't wait to give it a
try. Now just like all frozen steaks the best way to defrost the steak is to
leave it overnight in the refrigerator. You never want to throw it in water or
leaving defrosting at room temperature, even though that works it's not the best
way to do it. That will be Frost the steak slowly to
keep its maximum quality. To truly compare that Olive Wagyu taste I placed
another order.
and as I open the box, oh well this one is Japanese wagyu A5 but you can
see that it is a ribeye. I don't think you will even be fair if I use this one. This
is the one that we're gonna compare it with, and it is a Japanese wagyu A5
New York Strip. Now as far as price I pay a hundred and sixty six dollars and
sixty cents after the discounts. And each steak cost a hundred and forty-five
dollars and fifty cents. So they are almost the same price but this one is
about ten dollars less. After defrosting them overnight in the refrigerator this
is what they look like. As you can see the marbling of the olive Wagyu is
fantastic. It is a little bit oxidized but if you've seen my oxidation
experiment video you know that that's okay. And just in case you did not see
that video yet make sure you check out our later on.
Now just for comparison I also defrosted the a5 and this is what a marbling of a5
looks like. To my eyes it seems like it's more distributed there's not a huge
difference but there is a difference. If I put them side-by-side you can see that
there's not that much difference in the marbling I say they both look great. The
only huge difference is that the olive Wagyu is oxidized and the a5 is not.
Oxidation usually happens when you freeze the steak for a long time. Before
opening them I wanted to make sure that they weigh exactly what I paid for.
14.25 ounces 0.89 pounds 403 grams and 0.404 kilos.
So the weight is exactly on point. Then I weighed the
Japanese Wagyu A5 14.25 ounces 0.892 pounds 405 grams and 0.405 kilos.
They weighed exactly the same.
Now all there's left to do is open these steaks and see what they look like after I Pat them dry.
And I started with the olive Wagyu once I pat it dry this is what it looks like.
As I lift the steak from my board you can see that it's slightly breaking and
it also has a few holes on it not quite sure if that's normal I've never seen it
before. But it felt very tender he felt like if I was not careful it was
just basically gonna fall apart in my hands. After handling so many meats I
never experienced anything like this but I was excited to give it a try. Then I
jumped right into the Japanese wagyu A5 and I can tell you right away
there's a big difference just opening one and the other. It's kind of hard to
open this one. It's tight and the vacuum does not give now this is crazy it took
me about a minute and a half to open this steak. The vacuum seal is super tight.
And when I did this is what it looks like.
Handling one and the other is a completely different experience. This one
does not bend it is a solid piece. As you can see I can slam it on the board and
it will stand upright. One way to describe it it's like a brik this thing
is just solid. For you to better understand I try to handle both of them
at the same time. As you can see the olive Wagyu is just like jello and the
a5 I'm holding it with one finger in it does not Bend it is solid completely.
different experience and I did not expect that. When I put them side-by-side
this is what they look like
But now that you have seen the comparison of both steaks it is time to
season them. To ensure I taste the steak and nothing else and keeping the
seasoning very simple only salt and freshly ground black pepper. And like
always I do season both sides.
But now I say it is enough talking it is time to cook and taste this wonderful
steaks so let's do it!
All right we have our beautiful steaks here. What do you think Angel? W e have our
beautiful wagyus. How do you know is wagyu? Hello!
There's no way you're not able to tell when you see those kind of fat marbling
in between. Is just absolutely ridiculous and top-notch quality beef. And my mouth
is like. Salivating? Yeah I can't even talk too much.
Alright so Angel we have a little experiment today. I guess this is a good experiment.
I know you I know you like this kind. Or maybe whatever it is you did work or it's just a very good
experiment. True. So we have steak A and steak B and I want to know which one
you like better there's a different taste profile and all that good stuff.
You ready? You're not even gonna cut in half? What? You go ahead you're going for
it? Just like that? Alright let's do this together.
Cheers! Cheers everybody.
Some people ask me does it get old?
No it doesn't get old at all.
That...
Is so soft. It's like perfection of an
explosion on your mouth. My goodness! It goes like... Damn you're going for the second one
Easy dude! This is a tasting steak right it's not a steak for you to get full but
my nephews here thinks otherwise. I think very differently as you could tell. How
do you think it tastes?
It's amazing. It's wagyu bro! oh it is incredible. Can you tell what kind
of Wagyu this is? Let's see how good you are. A5? A5 my brother!
He's good. You can tell everybody
once you've experienced something like this it is phenomenal and it is
difficult to replicate this kind of taste. Yeah. You agree with me? Yeah it's
amazing, I'm not gonna lie it's probably one of the best steaks.
It is! That's why they charge you so much. Okay now I wanna try the second one. You
ready for it? I don't know. Can I split it in half or you... You can split those in
half. Dang Angel alright let's try the second one.
I think this one fell a little bit harder folding it. It did? when I, cuz I
folded this one just like the last one. Interesting well let me know. I don't know maybe
maybe not. Cheers everybody second one!
Amazing just as good hmm
That is a nice and wonderful steak. What do you think Angel? mmm mmm they're the
same though. They're the same? That's not a bad thing, at all. Can you not tell any
difference?
Not at all? Is exactly the same for you? Yeah.
I kind of uh, hold on
we might have to give it a second try here with a tasting here because this one
kind of surprised me a little bit. Why are you gonna cut. Just get a little piece dude.
Not a lot like a little piece because we by the way we have a little party today
I've got a lot of people need to try. All right try that one let's try it again Angel.
That's so good, so good second one right away I can't taste any difference
whatsoever if there's a difference this difference is like right towards to your
palate towards the end just like... Aftertaste? Yeah there's a little bit
more aftertaste on this one here but not that it's a good thing not that I don't...
Which one you like better?
You don't know? It tastes the same. It tastes the same. Maybe
you know what maybe I want to say maybe this one's a little bit more fatty.
This one is a little bit more fatty? So you have a little more richness. Yeh. Just a very
small amount. The difference is very very minor is not so much I was expecting
something different like a different kind of beef profile taste, you? I don't
know why you don't know why I would say okay so this. I wasn't expecting much.
This is Japanese Wagyu A5 straight from Japan this is this is also
straight from Japan but this is the famous Olive Wagyu. Oh. Olive wagyu
Oh that's what we're doing. That's what we are doing. Ok, and it's also A5. No this is one A4
Okay so I was right no? A little bit more fatty. Yeah this one is a
little bit more fatty in regards to taste profile I really can't tell any
difference you? If there's a difference it's very very minor. It's so slightly. And it comes
right at the end of getting the flavor. Like towards the end there's a little
bit of aftertaste of beef. They are both extremely fatty. Maybe you
got you got a look for that you really got it like... Come over here, we got a lot of
people behind the camera that I want to try come over here. This is miss Kayla
you guys all know her already Angel's girlfriend.
Alright Keya let's try this. Try that one first.
I like how you go for the bigger piece.
Try it! you tell me how does that taste Kayla
Pretty good! You know...
You can't even lie right it's like yeah it's pretty good. so try the second one
now we want to know your opinion. Oh this one's harder to like press into. Yeah?
Maybe I'm not going crazy.
There's a difference. There's a difference, okay you
tell us. What do you taste? We want to know what is the difference.
Tenderness are they the same?
I think the wagyu A5 is more tender.
Ok, how about the taste you say its different for you? Yeah so this one
tastes like its more... I do think that they're both very similar in taste the only
difference is that this one doesn't have like a bad...You mean this one here? Yeah the
the wagyu A5 doesn't have a bad aftertaste whereas this one it's not bad
it's not about aftertaste but it kind of tastes like old meat. Like old meat in the
end a little bit? Yeah like after you like while you're
eating it it's it's fine it's great but after that it's like. I understand what
she's saying because he has like a little aftertaste in the end right Angel.
It's like a little after taste not crazy big. No, no, no. Yeah but he has a little aftertaste
that is kind of weird but this is a phenomenal steak. I said that what do you
think? I think it has the aftertaste but you have to look for it you have got to
have an acquired taste for me. You have you have a very acquired
taste or you gotta be picky and be looking for something. Yeah you know if you're
looking like we're judging one side by side but if you eat this steak by itself
you probably won't be able to tell the aftertaste at all. But since we're putting
one next to the other yeah you know the aftertaste is there. You agree Kayla? Yeah
Okay now we have to judge. Angel pick a winner
A or B this one's more fatty I'm going for this. Fatty is always better I agree
Kayla which one just by the taste I like A better. I like the A this one as
well, this is the a5. I hope you guys get a chance to experience both see which
one you guys like best I stick with an a5. You? I go A5 man I'm sorry. Kayla? yeah same
Will stick with the A5 so these are the results. I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you
