Beef Cheek – Adult Beef
The cheek from adult beef is a premium second-category anatomical cut obtained from the jaw muscles of the animal, specifically from the musculus masseter. It is a relatively small cut but very rich in connective tissue, with natural marbling that, during slow cooking, turns into a soft, flavorful gelatin.
Beef cheek is now highly appreciated in gourmet cuisine for its deep flavor, excellent cooking stability, and the transformation of its fibers, which become soft and enveloping when properly prepared.
