Neil Perry, Rockpool, Melbourne, Australia
"I would love to make Rockpool Bar & Grill, Melbourne one of the
very best steak houses in the world. We will have a brilliant procurement
program for every piece of produce that comes in the door. The big heros
will be grass fed meat, Wagyu and dry aging. Without Blackmore Wagyu
Beef on board I don't see how I can run with the Wagyu component, and
say I have the best in the country."
“David Blackmore’s Fullblood Wagyu is light years ahead of any other Wagyu product in Australia. It is beyond good and I did some tastings of all our beef with food media in Melbourne and will be doing the same in Sydney late September. The Melbourne folks loved it and could really see how fine and delicate it was, not just fatty and greasy like all the other Australian Wagyu. Plus our dry aging takes it to another level. I can’t put it more simply than to say if David didn’t produce these amazing animals I would not serve Wagyu on the menu at the Rockpool Bar & Grills.”
Thomas Keller, French Laundry, Yountville, USA
"We have just completed a blind test between Blackmore Wagyu Beef and
a Japanese supplied Wagyu, and I am pleased to tell you that we had
a difficult time telling them apart. Bravo!!"
Kyle Connaughton, The Fat Duck, Berkshire, United Kingdom
"Reading all about your methods and operation has excited all of us
to find that there is someone approaching this type of farming with
a respect to the traditional methods, a methodical and scientific approach
to making improvements both in the meat and in the life of the animal,
and with a vision for the future of your product."
Matt Moran, Aria, Sydney, Australia
"David Blackmore is not only the leading Wagyu producer in Australia,
but possibly the leading Wagyu producer outside of Japan. What can you
say? Blackmore is in a league of its own. I've eaten Wagyu all around
the world and this is on a par with some of the best in Japan. Perfection.”
"I think the best possible 'last meal' would be based around Australian
produce. In my mind we are blessed to have some of the finest produce
in the world available right on our doorstep. For starters I would have
Coffin Bay Pacific oysters and then some Western Australian scampi,
followed by David Blackmore Wagyu beef with Western Australian truffles
and finish with some lovely summer stone fruits such as mangoes, white
peaches and nectarines."

"We sampled you're product and were extremely impressed. Hubert Keller
ate our Japanese Wagyu A5 and then tried the Blackmore the night after.
He preferred the Blackmore. Now we just have to convince the St. Louis
diners."
Ignatius Chan, Iggy’s Singapore
"We appreciate the well-balanced marbling, fine texture, finesse and
flavour of David Blackmore's Wagyu. We prefer the Blackmore Wagyu over
other Wagyu.”
