omahawk Dry Aged Rubia Gallega

The Tomahawk Dry Aged from Rubia Gallega is a true showstopper for anyone who loves bold, characterful beef. This impressive rib cut with its long bone doesn’t just stand out visually, but above all in flavour. Thanks to the dry aging process, the meat develops an intensely deep, nutty taste and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Combined with the unique qualities of the Rubia Gallega breed, this is a cut you won’t soon forget. Perfect for the BBQ or a heavy cast-iron pan, once you've tried it, there’s no going back.

What is a Tomahawk steak?

The Tomahawk steak is essentially a ribeye on the bone, but with the rib cut extra long for dramatic effect. Its shape resembles the traditional tomahawk axe, hence the name. Leaving the meat on the bone helps retain more flavour and juiciness during cooking. A Tomahawk has a coarse grain, rich taste, and is ideally suited for high-temperature grilling. When it’s also dry aged, it becomes even more exciting, the aging process reduces moisture and allows natural enzymes to gently break down muscle fibres, intensifying flavour and making the texture exceptionally tender.

Rubia Gallega from Galicia

Rubia Gallega is a rare beef breed from northern Spain, specifically from the lush, rugged region of Galicia. The animals roam freely and feed on grass, root vegetables, and wild herbs. Unlike most cattle, Rubia Gallega are only slaughtered after two to even seven years, giving the meat time to mature in both flavour and texture. The result is a deep, herby taste and stunning marbling that ensures tenderness and juiciness. The Tomahawk from this breed isn’t just meat, it’s a high-end culinary experience.
