What is butcher paper?

Butcher paper is the secret weapon of any serious BBQ enthusiast who truly takes low & slow cooking to heart. It’s a strong, breathable paper that protects your meat during cooking without wrapping it in a “plastic-like” layer. It helps keep the bark crispy while allowing heat to work through gently. This is the kind of paper trusted by real butchers and pitmasters.

What do you use butcher paper for?

Butcher paper is perfect for anything you cook slowly and with care: brisket, pulled pork, ribs, or even a thick pork shoulder. Once your meat has developed a nice bark and you want the temperature to rise without burning the exterior, you wrap it in butcher paper. This keeps the meat juicy, preserves that deep smoke and bark flavor, and maintains an excellent texture. You can also use it to rest meat, allowing the juices to redistribute. And yes—it works better than aluminum foil if you really want to keep that bark intact.

What are the specifications of The Butchery’s butcher paper?

Our butcher paper is all about quality: unwaxed, unbleached, and food-grade certified. No coatings, no unnecessary additives—just solid paper suitable for direct food contact. The roll is 45 cm wide and 30 meters long, more than enough for multiple large cuts of meat or even whole racks. And of course, it features the The Butchery logo, so your BBQ station looks as sharp as your final result.
