We admit it: The name "short ribs" is somewhat misleading, because these melt-in-your-mouth tender ribs are anything but "short"! But where does the name come from?
The term "short ribs" originates from the flank of the beef, the "short plate," from which they are cut. Short ribs have the advantage over other ribs that, unlike regular ribs, the meat is not only located on one side, but rather the bones of short ribs are completely surrounded by meat.
Our short ribs from select cattle are perfect for smoking or sous-vide cooking. Hungry yet?
CREEKSTONE FARMS – Selected Black Angus cattle!
Our US beef comes from Creekstone Farms. The meat we source from them comes from purebred Black Angus cattle. Creekstone Farms places particular emphasis on impeccable genetics, species-appropriate husbandry, the very best feed, and state-of-the-art processing methods. The Creekstone Farms Premium Black Angus program is also one of the few USDA-certified programs, guaranteeing consistently excellent quality. For your culinary enjoyment!
Kreutzers TKF – Frozen fresh for the best quality!
For some of our products, you'll find "TKF" after the name. This means that you can choose the frozen version when ordering your product (please don't be confused by the best-before date upon delivery; this only applies to chilled goods).
For the sake of sustainability, and to ensure nothing goes to waste, we flash-freeze all items that we cannot sell fresh in time. This is done well before the best-before date at a storage temperature below 2°C, thus preserving the high quality of the product.
"Frozen fresh" does not mean that you get lower quality, but simply that you receive this product frozen.
NOTE: We recommend thawing gently in the refrigerator. For optimal enjoyment, simply place your frozen food in the refrigerator for 24 hours before preparation.
