Information about Pork Rib Fingers.

Rib Fingers have always been popular in Asian Style cooking, the marbled fat content in the meat suits their hot & fast cooking methods. As more diverse cuts of meat have become available to chefs & the general public, the Iberico Pork Rib Fingers are now popular with BBQ Pitmasters.

We have these cut by expert butchers from Iberico Pork Belly Ribs which are renowned for being super tasty & tender. The boneless pieces of meat are ideal for making delicious Finger Food on the Barbecue. We have the Beef Rib Fingers available to buy online if you enjoyed cooking the Iberico Pork Rib Fingers.

Our customers who buy this piece also enjoy cuts like Pork cheeks, Pork Tenderloin, Pork Collar Chops, because they are a little different than mainstream cuts.

What is the difference between Iberico Pork & Regular Pork?

The Iberico Pork is generally more fatty & lighter in colour.

The Iberico Pigs are fed on a slightly different diet of mainly Acorns to give it the sweeter taste & extra fat marbling. They also forage throughout the mild winters in Spain for natural grass, roots, herbs etc, their diets are topped up with grains.

Regular Pigs such as the Pietrain (our preference for our other cuts) are fed commercially on cereals, meat & bone meal. They are a leaner more muscular Pig that grows faster & suits making our main BBQ Meat Cuts for better value results.

What are Iberico Pork Rib Fingers?

These are juicy Boneless Intercostal Muscles from the Belly Ribs.

As the name suggests (Fingers) they are similar thickness & shape as a Finger approximately 8cm long & 10mm thick. The meat is fairly coarse with plenty of marbled fat running through it, this keeps the meat moist adding to the taste when cooking. The Iberico Pork Rib Fingers are just like eating Boneless Belly Ribs. The Pork Rib Fingers are also called; Intercostal Muscles, Korean Rib Fingers or Pork Finger Meat.

How do we cut Iberico Pork Rib Fingers?

The Rib Fingers are cut from the in-between the Iberico Pork Belly Ribs.

Before any cutting is started, the chilled sides of Pork must be under 3°c, this reduces natural bacteria growth & the loss of juices for better tasting meat. The Rib Fingers are located on the Belly of Pork, expert butchers remove the Fingers with a special cutting tool that individually takes them out without any damage. It is important to take them out as a single piece so they don’t come apart during the cooking process.

The cutting facilities are under strict controls of the Health Vetenarians & BRCGS Approved to make our products the safest way possible. The temperature controlled environment keeps the Iberico Pork moist ensuring they taste as fresh as the day they are cut.

How do we pack Pork Rib Fingers?

These are sealed in Recyclable Clear Pouches.

The Iberico Pork Fingers are Vacuum Packed to protect the meat when delivered to your door. The pouches hold the shape of the pieces & the vacuum process sucks any moisture into the meat helping keep the flavour & to keep it moist during your cook. The packaging will prevent any freezer burn, any flavours from other food in your fridge tainting the meat & it prevents drying out whilst bringing up to room temperature.

Once the Iberico Pork Fingers are packed, these are placed into boxes or crates & palletised before being “Blast Frozen” down to -25°c, keeping the meat in perfection condition for a 24 month frozen shelf life.

To reduce our plastic usage we are using thinner stronger pouches for our Vacuum Sealed meats. We are putting more portions or larger pieces per pack to reduce this further, this lowers our Carbon Footprint. Through energy efficiency & higher throughput, we are able to make cost savings, producing a Greener product.

It is important that our customers at home or in wholesale businesses are recycling all packaging responsibly because this is the most important link in the “Recycle Chain”. We actively encourage all our customers to recycle & are always looking at new packaging ideas or ways to save energy.

Are Iberico Pork Rib Fingers good value for money?

Iberico Pork is not the cheapest of meat but, better value when produced as a wholesale meat cut.

To save our customers money we make this cut much better value by trimming & preparing this as a ready to cook piece. We produce Iberico Pork Rib Fingers as a wholesale meat cut & the savings we make from production at the abattoir helps to reduce the cost price per kilo. With reduced costs we can offer these at a cheaper more affordable price online.

The whole process from farm to fork is designed to be as efficient as possible, from the shorter distances between the farm to the slaughterhouse saving money on fuel & is less stressful for the animals, to the production process.

The production has highly trained butchers to cut more pieces per hour with better accuracy, the packing staff are able to process higher volumes, both using more energy efficient equipment.

Provenance of our Pork:

We source locally to our production facilities to reduce our “Carbon Footprint” with lower vehicle emissions & less journey times, reducing stress levels for the pigs. Sourcing our Pork locally from Northern France, Belgium & Spain for some Iberico cuts ensures we have a sustainable supply of high quality Pork from good welfare farms.

Having A grade Pork allows us to make “Restaurant Quality” Pork cuts in larger volumes to supply homes & restaurants across the UK & Europe. Our choice of preferred Pig breed is “Pietrain Pig”, this is found mainly in the Wallonia region of Western Belgium.

These are a Pig with a good meat yield, low in cholesterol, good muscle structure & a mild temperament. The Pork has a great flavour & texture, combined with modern day slaughtering techniques are designed to be as humane as possible, ensuring light coloured, soft meat.

The colour of our Pork is a light pink & has no discolouring from bruising or a high PH level as the pigs have been looked after from farm all the way through to processing in the best humane way as possible. This makes sure that you get a tastier more tender piece of Pork that guarantees great flavour.
