Meat knowledge
The delicious pork chops have almost been forgotten and yet they are a real treat and also provide a whole portion of important nutritional values. With a crispy, brown crust and soft, juicy meat, they are a hit at every barbecue and also look great when prepared in a pan
The chop is located on the side of the spine at the back of the pig. This part is also called the cutlet strand and extends to the hind leg. The cutlet is divided into a front and a rear part, so to speak. Chops from the front strand are also known as the stem chop
Dry-aged pork chops from the straw pig
Chops are a real delicacy in themselves, but in the dry-aged version they reach the absolute final level. To take the pleasure to the extreme, our chops are matured directly on the bone for at least four weeks. This dry-aging process gives the meat an excellent flavour and ensures that it remains incredibly tender, even at high heat.
The forgotten classic
Whether for short roasting, breading or grilling - pork chops are suitable for countless preparation methods. If the bone is still attached, the meat loses very little liquid during preparation and remains wonderfully juicy. This gives the meat enough time to develop its full flavour
Dry-aged pork chops from Fitmeat
At Fitmeat you only get fresh premium meat that has never been deep-frozen. That's why our dry-aged chops are not only juicy and have been dry-aged for at least 4 weeks. This means they do not dry out during preparation and remain beautifully tender
The right thickness is nevertheless an important point. Sliced too thinly, even the best chop is quite difficult to cook to perfection. Boned pork chops should therefore be at least 2 cm thick.

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 noticeable in the taste. If you compare pigs from factory farms, for example, one thing is immediately clear: due to the permanent stress, the meat is much firmer, loses a lot of water during roasting and has hardly any flavour of its own.
For us at Fitmeat, this kind 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 the careful and stress-free individual slaughter of the pigs, our butchers leave the straw pigs to mature on the bone for a few days. The result is juicy and tender pieces of pork with a wonderful aroma.
