Pork belly slices fly off the shelves in our stores. The Dutch simply love them — and for good reason. And when they’re from LIVAR, you know they’re in a class of their own. In our house, not a month goes by without pork belly on the menu.

What are bacon without rind?

Super tasty bacon without rind from LIVAR, or the Limburg Monastery Pig. Bacon without rind is cut from the pork belly. LIVAR meat owes its rich taste to the good origin of the pigs, among other things. Delicious on BBQ or grill...

Bacon without rind LIVAR

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 pork is in a class of its own. It is laced with fat, the 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.

Taste as a reward for good care

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.

Livar pigs no longer roam around at Lilbosch Abbey, but they do all grow up 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.
