All I would say is that Texas raises some of the best beef in the world (Grass Fed Organic Beef Cattle). They also have a world renown Agricultural University (Texas A&M). There is plenty of experience in Animal husbandry and no shortage of resources including Acorns, there are probably millions of Oaks throughout Texas. If they choose to they will be able to make black-label as good as any.

What do you mean by “best”? I’ve never tasted Texas beef that even comes close to the flavor of Argentinian or Brazilian beef.

  Texas is a huge state, of course there's a bit of everything. You can absolutely find some of the best beef in the world there. You can also find some so-so, or even bad beef. I don't think OP's statement is wrong, but also shouldn't be read as 'all beef from Texas is best'. Same with Brazil and Argentina, I'm sure.

  >I’ve never tasted Texas beef that even comes close to the flavor of Argentinian or Brazilian beef. That's too bad. Where are you shopping? An example of 1 of 1000's of small ranches scattered through out the state. Even the Grocery stores carry local grass fed beef that is incredibly affordable and absolutely delicious. https://zbarcattle.com/ https://zbarcattle.com/ The breed of cattle https://zbarcattle.com/pages/our-cattle https://zbarcattle.com/pages/our-cattle

    OK, I wanna try the best Texas beef, maybe I haven't tried good ones. I tried to order their prime ribeye, but it's sold out. Can you recommend some other places where I can purchase and get it shipped?

  Meanwhile I've never tasted Argentinian beef that doesn't taste like shoe leather. I had it in the Alsace and it was the worst steak I've ever had at a good restaurant. I should have known better and gotten the pork. Sampling bias is a thing.

My take in this is that a company that takes pride in their work and really has the ability to produce great products would develop their own flavor rather than calling it "Iberian ham". There is almost always something nefarious behind copying regional products. To give an example, I've bought plenty of "feta style" cheese over the years and not a single one was as good as real Greek feta. I wouldn't mind buying "feta" by Arla if they produced the same quality, but they don't. There are also sometimes other things to consider, e.g. the Iberian porco preto is free-ranging, and I also prefer it because of that. (Note that many "porco preto" products only contain some percentage, you need to make sure it's 100% porco preto.) Don't get me wrong, I agree that there should be no reason they couldn't produce great ham in Texas. But if they have a good product they don't need to copy something from Europe.
