Icon XB Wagyu - Australian - Beef Cheek. MB8/9 Grain-Fed

A top-tier Australian Wagyu beef cheek from Icon XB, delivering exceptional richness, deep flavor, and unmatched braising performance. With MB8/9 grading, this cut carries an unusually high level of intramuscular fat for a working muscle, allowing it to break down into an ultra-tender, gelatin-rich texture when cooked low and slow.

Grain-fed for extended development, this beef cheek is built for transformation — starting as a firm, collagen-heavy cut and finishing as a soft, melt-in-the-mouth result with intense Wagyu depth.

MB8/9 marbling – very high intramuscular fat for enhanced richness and moisture
