About Cupim

Cupim is a Brazilian beef cut sourced from the hump of zebu cattle, widely celebrated for its rich marbling and tender texture when slow-cooked. Known for its prominent role in churrasco-style barbecues, Cupim is prized for its ability to retain moisture and flavor during extended cooking periods. Nutritionally, it is high in protein, supporting muscle maintenance, but also contains a considerable amount of fat due to its marbling, making it calorie-dense. While the fats in Cupim contribute to its signature succulence and buttery taste, they also mean consuming this cut should be balanced as part of an overall diet. Its preparation often involves smoking, roasting, or grilling, enhancing its savory profile. Originating in Brazil’s unique barbecue tradition, Cupim represents both a culinary delight and a rich part of South American food heritage. Pairing it with fiber-rich sides like vegetables can support a more balanced meal.
