Meat knowledge
With our Competition Ribs made from Austrian straw pork, the name says it all. As soon as these ribs are put on the barbecue, the competition is on - and one thing is for sure: the victory for the most impressive ribs is yours for sure!
With a fabulously thick layer of meat, not only on the ribs but also between the ribs, this cut is simply a feast for the taste buds.
More meat is simply not possible with ribs! It is not for nothing that this cut is used for competitions in the USA.
The competition is on: The monster ribs in the smoker
The monster ribs in the smoker.
Due to the extreme meat cover and the high fat content, the ribs are suitable for extra long smoking. In America this is used in competitions, as the time span can be extended somewhat
. Although they are oversized, they are easier to handle and prepare. The meat remains very juicy and tender, even when cooked at higher temperatures.
In Germany, competition ribs are known as belly ribs. The high fat content and long smoking process give the ribs a fascinating aroma with a fine smoky note. The meat is succulent to the bite and falls off the bone almost by itself
.What makes our Fitmeat Competition Ribs so special?
Firstly, the breed of the pigs themselves. Unlike other suppliers, our ribs come from Austrian Gustino straw pigs. On an idyllic family farm, the straw pigs have a really good life. With spacious stalls and cosy resting areas lined with straw bedding.
They grow up in small groups, have plenty of room to play and exercise, can cuddle in the straw and just feel super comfortable. The result is low stress for the animals and high quality meat.
Quantity per person
We recommend one ladder/length for four people.
Herkunft und Haltung
Pigs are extremely intelligent and clean animals. Therefore, species-appropriate and caring rearing is the be-all and end-all for us. A requirement that is also reflected in the delicious taste.
If you compare pigs from factory farms, for example, one thing is immediately clear: due to the constant stress, the meat is much firmer, loses a lot of water when roasted and hardly has any flavour of its own.
For us at Fitmeat, this type of rearing is out of the question for many reasons. We fight for animal welfare and the appreciation of meat products and strictly distance ourselves from immoral factory farming.
After careful and stress-free individual slaughtering of the pigs, our butchers allow the straw pigs to mature on the bone for a few days. The result is juicy and tender pieces of pork with a wonderful meat flavour.
