Meet Our Meat

Ceratonia Wagyu Ranch, the home of fullblood Wagyu in Cyprus. We are passionate about breeding excellence, ethical farming, and delivering the highest quality beef. Every aspect of our ranch—from our superior Wagyu genetics to our natural, stress-free environment—reflects our commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and premium taste.

The Meaning Behind Ceratonia Wagyu Ranch brand name

Ceratonia Wagyu Ranch brand name, is inspired by the Ceratonia siliqua, commonly known as the carob tree—a tree deeply rooted in the history and landscape of Cyprus and the Mediterranean. Often referred to as “the black gold” of the region, carob has been prized for centuries for its nutritional value, natural sweetness, and health benefits. At our ranch, carob trees flourish in our surroundings, and we hand-collect carob pods to incorporate into our Wagyu feeding program. This natural ingredient not only enhances the health and well-being of our cattle but also contributes to the unique depth of flavor found in our beef. Our name reflects this harmonious connection between nature, tradition, and premium Wagyu farming, embodying the essence of Ceratonia Wagyu Ranch.

Our Wagyu Heritage & Genetics

At Ceratonia Wagyu Ranch, we have carefully selected fullblood Wagyu cattle from some of the world’s most renowned bloodlines. Our herd traces back to prestigious maternal lines, including Hikokura, Chiyotake, and Suzutani, known for producing elite Wagyu with exceptional marbling, tenderness, and depth of flavor. We also use proven, world-class Wagyu sires, ensuring each generation maintains and enhances these superior traits.

As an official overseas full member of the Australian Wagyu Association, all our cattle are DNA-tested and come with their official certificate of authenticity from Australia. This guarantees that every animal at our ranch is 100% fullblood Wagyu, preserving the breed’s legendary quality.

Our Breeding & Feeding Philosophy

We believe that great Wagyu starts with great care. Our cattle are raised in a low-stress environment, where they have ample space to roam and thrive naturally. Their diet is carefully crafted from locally sourced, natural ingredients and enriched with herbs from Cyprus’s unique Mediterranean landscape. This additive-free, antibiotic-free, and hormone-free feeding approach not only ensures optimal animal health but also enhances the distinct flavor of our beef.

We take pride in allowing our Wagyu to grow at a natural pace, following traditional Japanese breeding principles while adapting to the pristine conditions of Cyprus. This method results in unparalleled marbling, buttery tenderness, and an exquisite umami taste in every cut of beef.

Our Land & Ethical Farming Practices

Our ranch is located in the heart of Cyprus, surrounded by unspoiled nature. We are dedicated to sustainable and regenerative farming, ensuring our land remains pure, bio-friendly, and free from pesticides. By preserving the integrity of our environment, we provide our Wagyu with the healthiest and most natural habitat possible.
