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.

Order received exactly on time. The freeze packs were still frozen on delivery.
I bought 9 racks – they came in packs or 2 or 3 racks. I repacked 8 racks individually and they went straight into the freezer.
The racks were generous sizes apart from 3 smaller racks ( I was given an extra rack).
There is very little fat on these ribs , so I applied dry rub, smoked on my WSM for 2 hours then fold wrapped in sauce and cooked for further 2 hours. They came out very well, really delicious.
I would certainly purchase from Grid Iron again.

This product was purchased ahead of time for Christmas but I’m sure it’s good quality as the other products I’ve purchased are.

Basted with Sweet Baby Ray sauce or Franks Hot Sauce. They fall off the bone after about an hour at 180 – pick your movie and pick your ribs

Anyone who has cooked baby back ribs in the US will be disappointed. The ribs are tasty, but they have been cut as close to the bone as possible, with none of the lovely sweet loin meat on top of the ribs.

Your service was top class and I can’t fault delivery. The ribs however were not baby back ribs. They were spare ribs. There wasn’t a lot of meat on them in all honestly. A shame because I would have re-ordered. Your company seems very well organised and professional. Many thanks
