Pork Belly Strips

Pork Belly Strips :

Our expert butchers only select the belly of pork with the best meat to fat ratio to ensure that there is plenty of meat in each slice. The 5 slices are evenly cut to approximately 105-grams each because it allows you to add your own ingredients so they marinate evenly. Cooking the pork belly strips quickly will help to retain their natural juices giving a succulent slice of pork belly in whatever flavour you decide.

In preparation of the pork belly before slicing the rind or skin has been removed & all the bones are taken away, leaving just the juicy meat with a covering of fat. This adds to the flavour whilst keeping the pork belly slices moist during cooking. This is the same principle when creating our Pork Loin Steaks, as they say, “fat is flavour” & this is especially true of the belly or Brisket.

The selection of the pork is important before any cutting is done, as the colour has to be light pink, ensuring that it will be tender, & there has to be enough meat on them because you wish that your added seasonings & sauces blend perfectly. Most importantly, there has to be plenty of meat for your money that tastes perfect every time!

The texture of the belly of pork is fairly coarse & has superb flavour because of this, & the meat will become Melt in your mouth tender when cooked. The essential vitamins, minerals & protein is always found in top-quality pork & is important as part of a daily diet, the meat on the Pork Belly Strips has plenty of these & can become a healthier meal option if the fat is trimmed after cooking.

All our meats are cut in temperature-controlled, clean & safe environments to make the freshest cuts possible for home & restaurant deliveries. The meat is cut & packed within minutes because it stops it from losing its natural juices & limits its exposure to any natural bacteria found in the air. The meat is then shock frozen to -18preserving the Pork Belly Strips perfectly, giving them a much longer shelf life.

The clear recyclable pouches that we use to pack the pork Belly Strips in help to suck all the natural juices into the meat that has infused with the seasoning. The meat has a chance to marinade nicely in the bag without drying out because it is exposed to the air. As we place 5 pork strips per packet this helps to reduce the amount of plastic needed & the packaging we now use is thinner & stronger, this also helps to reduce the amount of plastic used making our carbon footprint that much smaller.

The benefits of storing your Pork Belly Strips in the clear recyclable pouches at home are; less space in your freezer, the meat is fully protected from “freezer burn” or any other food products in your fridge, the shelf life is longer, it also prevents them from spoiling. During the delivery of the Pork Belly Strips to your home, the packaging will protect your meat keeping it safe in the strong boxes with the extra frozen Gel packs at -18.
