The Butchery is an official LIVAR dealer — and we’re proud of that, because it’s an exceptional product to work with! The slogan “Flavour as a reward for proper care” couldn’t be more true. LIVAR truly is in a class of its own, and that makes even a simple sausage something special.

What is bratwurst?

Bratwurst is ground and seasoned minced meat pressed into an intestine. Sounds less tasty than it is. Bratwurst is eaten a lot and for good reason. Bratwurst is immensely popular, especially in Germany, preferably in combination with sauerkraut. But we Dutch also love sausage. In fact, there is no difference between fresh sausage and bratwurst, except the shape. Bratwurst is meant to be - you guessed it - fried in the pan or on the BBQ. Then it becomes nice and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. A bratwurst is very tasty anyway, but seasoned with black pepper and LIVAR is perfect for you!

Bratwurst LIVAR - Limburg Monastery Pig

This bratwurst comes from LIVAR, also known as Limburg Monastery Pig. The origin of LIVAR pigs lies - as the name suggests - at Lilbosch Abbey in Echt, Limburg, where the animals were lovingly cared for by monks and could enjoy themselves in the monastery gardens. Nowadays, LIVAR pigs obviously do not all come from Lilbosch Abbey, but they still come from the most beautiful free-range farms. The requirements for animal welfare are only stricter by LIVAR and the animals all have an honest origin. The Animal Protection and Wakker Dier Foundation are also enthusiastic and have awarded LIVAR with a 3* Better Life. You can taste the good life of Livar pigs! The meat is nicely laced with fat and fat is precisely the flavor carrier of meat. Moreover, it hardly loses weight during preparation, which means the meat remains tender and juicy. So with bratwurst from LIVAR you are definitely in the right place!
