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.

Herkunft und Haltung
Our pigs are raised at Biohof Greflgut and on carefully selected farms in the region – with plenty of space, fresh air, and lots of freedom. They decide for themselves whether they would rather relax in a warm straw bed or enjoy the sunshine outdoors.
Raised in small groups, fed with high-quality feed, and provided with plenty of opportunities to play and explore, they live exactly the kind of life we believe happy animals should have. Because for us, genuine animal welfare is not a trend, but a fundamental requirement.
We use carefully selected pig breeds such as Duroc, Pietrain, and Swabian-Hall pigs, as well as crossbreeds thereof. The result: wonderfully aromatic, juicy meat with fine marbling and full flavour.
Slaughter takes place stress-free directly on the farm or at a nearby butcher – without long transport routes and in a calm environment. Afterwards, the meat is given time to mature properly, resulting in exceptionally tender cuts and honest meat enjoyment with a good conscience.
