It comes from the Longissimus Dorsi muscle, which runs along the spine and does not expand excessively, giving it a nice and fluffy texture. This gives an extra creamy flavor and a nice moisturizing texture.
The prime rib can come from the sixth through the twelfth rib, and the end it comes from should dictate how you cook it. The centerpiece is the most common (and you'll often find it when you buy a prime rib in a supermarket). It has some covered fat and a good amount of marbles. Then we have two endings: the short loin and the adverb of the envelope.
The short end has little to no fat and is less marbled, which is more suitable for people who prefer lower fat meats.
