The word "schnitzel" is derived from "cutting" and so the Kaiserschnitzel is also cut nice and thin. With the quality of our straw pigs, pounding the schnitzel becomes unnecessary, but can increase the already great tenderness of the meat even more
Meat knowledge
The legendary Kaiserschnitzel
The Escalopes from topside, or Kaiserschnitzel, is, as the name suggests, something very special. You could say it's the most sought-after cut of pig's leg.
Especially for wonderfully juicy schnitzels or cordon bleu, this meat is an absolute hit. Lean, fine fibres and an even texture - these characteristics probably best fit the description of the Escalopes from topside.
This makes it easy to handle and guarantees an optimal result.
Quantity per person
We recommend 1 - 2 Kaiserschnitzels per person
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.
