Discover the Rich Flavor of Our Pasture-Raised Spare Ribs
Savor the exceptional taste and quality of our spare ribs, sourced from pasture-raised pigs that live happy, healthy lives. Our commitment to ethical farming practices ensures that you’re not only enjoying delicious meat but also supporting sustainable and humane farming.
Why Choose Our Spare Ribs:
Pasture-Raised Pigs: Our pigs roam freely on verdant pastures, engaging in their natural behaviors and enjoying a stress-free environment. This humane approach results in meat that is tender, flavorful, and ethically sourced.
Richer Flavor and Tenderness: Spare ribs come from the belly side of the pig, closer to the bacon area, which gives them a richer, more intense flavor compared to baby back ribs. The extra marbling in spare ribs ensures they are juicy and tender when cooked.
Perfect for Slow Cooking: The slightly larger size and higher fat content of spare ribs make them ideal for slow cooking methods such as smoking, braising, or barbecuing. These techniques allow the flavors to develop fully, resulting in succulent, mouth-watering ribs.
Spare Ribs vs. Baby Back Ribs:
Location on the Pig: Baby back ribs are cut from the upper portion of the ribcage, near the spine, while spare ribs are cut from the belly side of the ribcage, closer to the pig's abdomen.
Size and Meat Content: Spare ribs are larger and meatier than baby back ribs, with more marbling and connective tissue that breaks down during cooking to create a tender, flavorful dish.
Flavor Profile: The higher fat content in spare ribs contributes to a richer, more robust flavor that stands up well to bold seasonings and slow cooking methods.
Why Choose Spare Ribs Over Baby Back Ribs:
Richer, More Intense Flavor: The marbling and fat content in spare ribs provide a deeper, more complex flavor that is highly sought after by barbecue enthusiasts and chefs alike.
Versatility in Cooking: Spare ribs are perfect for a variety of cooking methods, from grilling to slow smoking, allowing you to experiment with different recipes and flavors.
Value for Money: With their larger size and meatier texture, spare ribs offer excellent value, providing more meat and flavor for your culinary creations.
