Tenderloin : Elegant, Exquisite, Unmatched in Tenderness
Experience the most tender and luxurious cut of carabeef—perfectly suited for gourmet dishes, fine dining, or a truly unforgettable meal.
The carabeef tenderloin is a premium oblong muscle that runs along the rear spine of the water buffalo, just behind the kidneys—from the hip bone to the 13th rib. Because this muscle sees minimal movement, the meat is exceptionally tender, smooth, and buttery, making it one of the most sought-after cuts.
This prized section is often used in high-end dishes due to its refined texture and clean, mild flavor—making it perfect for both traditional and modern preparations.

The tenderness is so profound, a knife seems optional. For those who appreciate the finer things in life—without excess—tenderloin is a perfect expression of balance, grace, and flavor.
