Description
Sweet, succulent, and made for slow cooking – these rare breed baby back ribs are your ticket to fall-off-the-bone flavour.
Sourcing
Our Baby Back Ribs come from traditional native breed pigs, reared outdoors on small farms with high welfare standards. These pigs are slow-grown, allowing natural marbling to develop through the meat – essential for flavour and texture. The ribs are expertly butchered from the upper part of the loin, ensuring a generous meat-to-bone ratio.
About the Cut
Baby Back Ribs are taken from where the rib meets the spine, giving them slightly shorter bones than spare ribs. They’re prized for being leaner, more tender, and quicker to cook, with beautifully marbled meat that absorbs smoke and seasoning exceptionally well.
Cooking Methods
Best cooked low and slow – try oven roasting, smoking, or barbecuing. For ultimate tenderness, rub with your favourite spice mix, cover, and cook at a low temperature until the meat starts to pull back from the bones. Finish under the grill or on the barbecue to caramelise your glaze. For convenience, they can also be pressure cooked before finishing.
Nutritional Value
Rich in protein and essential B vitamins like niacin, riboflavin, and B12, pork ribs are also a good source of zinc and selenium. While naturally higher in fat, the fat content renders out during slow cooking, helping to keep the meat moist and delicious.
Health Benefits
When sourced from outdoor-reared rare breed pigs, the meat contains a better balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids and higher levels of vitamin D. As part of a balanced diet, baby back ribs offer nourishing protein and minerals in a delicious, natural form.

Looks like a generous rack of ribs, not had them yet but feels meaty.

I have been looking for a class supply of meat. Grid Iron Meats almost met my expectations. Three rib packs were absolutely amazing. My health and appetite is not vey good, but, I could not stop eating these. I would of fought an army for these. But the fourth pack was not good at all, hence only 4 stars. Despite this, I would highly recommend buying from Grid Iron meats.

Oven cooked long and slow with a rub, and then finished on the BBQ with a sticky sauce, these were a hit with everyone. I have two more which I’ll be using for the first BBQ of the year and then I’m coming back for more.

I have purchased these twice. You get a lot for your money and they are great quality. Smoked using 3-2-1 method and also a quick smoke for 3 hours. They came out amazing and you get a lot of meat.

Nice enough but when smoked and rubbed was it worth paying the premium.Not sure.
