Dry-aged herb pork chop

When properly prepared, dry-aged prime pork chops produce juicy, flavorful pork steaks. These pork chops are best suited for pan-frying or grilling. They come from the back of herb-cured pigs. Through our own rearing and slaughtering, we influence animal welfare at every stage, thus ensuring the quality of the meat.

The characteristics of the dry-aged cutlet

The chop strings lie to the right and left of the spine. The front chops are also called shank chops . The dry-aged chop has very little connective tissue and, except for the layer of fat, is relatively lean , making it ideal for pan-frying.

Black Forest Prime Pork – our premium pork steaks

To meet even the highest quality standards, we created our "Black Forest Prime Pork." Only select top-quality cuts of herb-cured pork carry this seal of quality and are dry-aged on the bone for up to four weeks in our salt-stone chamber. This guarantees extremely tender steaks with excellent flavor.

Raising our herb pigs

Our pig farm is located on the Engler family farm in the Markgräflerland region, home to the first pig hotel in southern Baden since 2019. Here, the pigs live in a species-appropriate animal welfare barn on straw and with outdoor access. Our slower fattening method results in higher-quality meat. The closed system ensures that we can completely avoid the use of antibiotics.

How to prepare dry-aged pork chops on the grill – in 6 steps

  1. Prepare 2 grill zones:
    1st zone: As high heat as possible;
    2nd Zone: Only the indirect heat of Zone 1.
  2. Salt the steak and after 2-3 minutes place it in the hot zone, grilling it on all sides.
  3. Place in the indirect zone and reduce the heat.
  4. Insert the core temperature probe into the steak.
  5. When the desired core temperature is reached, remove from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Carve across the grain and serve on warmed plates.
