Meat knowledge

Pork belly, single rib, rind-on, with soft bone, is taken from the back of the rib cage. It is streaked with fat and may also have ribs. The belly, with the rind cut into it, makes a savoury roast.

. Its fat is an important source of flavour. The belly is divided into the front (brisket), middle and back. In the USA it is known as belly of pork, in Bavaria as wammerl.

Undoubtedly the fattiest piece of pork, the belly of pork is single ribbed, rind-on, with a soft bone. And this is where the flavour is at home. We all know that fat is the number one flavour carrier, so it's no wonder that pork belly has such a strong flavour of its own.

Classification of pork belly

The belly of pork is usually divided into three parts: The upper third, which is also lower in fat, is called the rump or rib. Because the bones are a little closer together, there is very little but delicious meat in between.

Pork belly, single rib, rind-on, with soft bone, as we know it, comes from the front of the lower two thirds. The meat is significantly fatter, with a fat content of up to 30%. Its shape is almost uniformly rectangular and the meat has a long fibrous structure. The rear part is also called the belly. It is mainly used to make sausages.

We recommend one kilogram of pork belly for three to four people.

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.
