Thanks to the optimal ratio of meat, bone and fat, our St. Louis Cut Ribs are excellent for cooking in the smoker. They also turn out perfectly when grilled slowly at a low temperature. Whether classically seasoned like the Austrian roast pork, marinated with spice mixtures or spread with BBQ sauce, there are no limits to your imagination.
Meat knowledge
St. Louis cut ribs are becoming increasingly popular. And there is a good reason for this: because these ribs have the perfect meat-to-bone ratio and are therefore much more flavourful.
The St. Louis Cut Ribs are obtained from the centre rib and while the cartilage is cut away. But the real reason is that there is significantly more meat on these ribs, which makes them juicy and incredibly delicious.
What sets our Fitmeat St. Louis Cut Ribs apart from the rest?
First of all, the breed of the pigs themselves. Unlike others, our St. Louis Cut Ribs come from Austrian Gustino straw pigs
In an idyllic family farm, the straw pigs lead a really fine life. With spacious stalls and cosy resting areas lined with straw bedding.
There they grow up sheltered in small groups, have opportunities to play and be active, can cuddle in the straw and simply feel really comfortable. Butchering takes place either on the farm or at the nearby butcher. This way, there is hardly any stress for the animals and the meat quality is accordingly high.

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.
