At Soutpansberg Koelkamers, we pride ourselves on bringing you only the finest cuts — and our Berkshire ribs stand out for their succulence, flavor, and versatility. Sourced from premium-herd pigs and processed with meticulous care, these ribs are prepped using a signature 3‑step process that guarantees tenderness and mouth‑watering BBQ appeal. Here’s everything you need to know — from rib varieties to creative culinary ideas and storage tips.
What Makes Berkshire Ribs Special?
- Tenderising Stage – Each rack is massaged with a unique herb‑and‑spice blend.
- Slow Cooking – Ribs are par‑cooked to perfect infusing.
- BBQ Basting & Vacuum Seal – A sweet‑salty‑acid marinade coats each rib before vacuum sealing, locking in flavor.
These steps yield ribs that are succulent, easy to cook, and bursting with aroma.

Storage & Handling Tips
- Chilled (0–5 °C): Good for up to 35 days after production.
- Frozen (≤ –18 °C): Belly ribs and bacon last up to a year — freeze well in vacuum packs for easy future use.
Always thaw in the fridge before reheating or finishing on the fire for best results.
