What is Tail?
Carabeef Tail, also known as buffalo oxtail, is a premium offal cut known for its gelatin-rich structure and robust flavor. Taken from the tail of the carabeef (buffalo), this cut is highly valued in traditional cuisines for its ability to add body, depth, and richness to soups, stews, bone broths, and stocks. When slow-cooked, the connective tissue and marrow dissolve into a silky, nourishing texture that elevates any dish.
About Tail
Buffalo tail is cut into segments and cleaned before being blast frozen to preserve freshness and texture. It is widely used in culinary traditions across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean. The high gelatin and marrow content makes it ideal for nutrient-rich cooking and adds a silky finish to hearty dishes.
Carabeef tail is ideal for low-and-slow cooking methods, allowing the tendons, bones, and meat to break down and create rich, flavorful results. Whether you’re preparing oxtail stew, Vietnamese pho, Nigerian pepper soup, or a healing bone broth, this cut delivers exceptional results.
