Our Meat Cutting and Processing for Food Service (From Farm to Store)

Ever wondered how pork how your favourite ham is prepared from farm to store?

As mentioned in a previous article, pork is fabricated into two different pork meat cuts. Meat cutting, or fabrication, is the process of cutting, boning, and portioning large cuts of meat to primal and sub primal specifications.

Pork is delivered from the farms from where we source our products; these may be whole, in sides, or broken down into pieces (professionally known as ‘primals’.) The primals which include the pork shoulder, pork leg, pork loin, and pork belly are broken down into sub-primals. See the example below of the primal and sub-primal pork cuts that you can purchase in the supermarket.

The following wholesale meat is available from us as

1. Pork Leg

The leg is tender and predominantly free of connective tissues, making it perfect for dry heat cookery. Most commonly, the pork leg is cured, smoked and processed to produce ham.

2. Pork Loin

The pork loin is commonly split into three sections: the rib, sirloin, and loin centre. Purchase our tasty pre-marinated ribs here!

3. Pork Shoulder

The pork shoulder is very popular for use in sausage making due to the higher fat content. We offer a variety including regular, footlong and breakfast sausages.

4. Pork Belly

This is the section cured and smoked to make pork side bacon. Please see our assortment of bacon here.
