The Butchery is an official LIVAR dealer of LIVAR and we are of course proud of that. What a wonderful product to work with! LIVAR is the only pork concept to have been awarded 3* better life by the Animal Protection Society and that is of course not without reason. The origin of brightly colored LIVAR pigs lies at Lilbosch Abbey in Echt, Limburg. There, the animals are lovingly cared for by monks and the pigs can root and roll in the mud in the monastery gardens and are fed freshly grown Limburg grains. You can taste that good life.

Taste as a reward for good care

Livar pigs no longer roam around at Lilbosch Abbey, but they are all raised under strict supervision and LIVAR is constantly working to make its farms even more animal-friendly. Taste as a reward for good care is the slogan and we dare to say with certainty that no word of that is a lie.

Artisan and authentic meat

Livar pork is in a class of its own. It is laced with grease, dé flavor carrier of meat. Moreover, it hardly loses weight during preparation, which means the meat remains tender and juicy. So you're definitely in the right place with Livar bacon! LIVAR monastery pigs are on par with the best free-range pigs in Spain or Italy.
