The packing of all our meats has to be completed within a few minutes because we don’t want them to dry out. Our meat cuts are vacuum sealed into clear recyclable pouches that gently hold the meat in shape, but more importantly keep the natural moisture in the meat.

We are always looking to find other methods of packaging that is cheaper & more Eco-friendly, so we can then help improve the environment moving towards a greener future. We are now using a thinner, stronger packaging that is also recyclable which helps us to reduce our carbon foot print by using less plastic.
