Premium Pork, Unpacked by Pronto Meats: From Sunday Roasts to Braai-Ready Ribs

A Butcher's Look at Premium Pork: From Sunday Roasts to Braai-Ready Ribs

While beef may be the king of the braai, pork is the versatile champion of the Zimbabwean kitchen.


It’s a meat that offers a spectacular range of flavours and textures—from the crispy, salty delight of a perfect crackling on a Sunday roast to the sticky, fall-off-the-bone tenderness of slow-cooked ribs.

However, the difference between an average pork dish and an unforgettable one lies entirely in the quality of the meat you start with. At Pronto Meats, we take our pork as seriously as we take our beef.

This is your guide to understanding what makes our pork a cut above the rest.

The Hallmarks of Quality: What Our Butchers Look For

Unlike beef, pork doesn't have the same extensive public grading system. Therefore, quality is determined by the butcher's expertise and a strict set of internal standards. Here’s what we look for:

  • Colour and Moisture: High-quality, fresh pork should have a vibrant, pinkish-red hue. It should be firm to the touch and have a good amount of moisture, but should never be watery or pale.
  • The Quality of the Fat: The fat on a piece of pork should be creamy white and firm. This fat is not something to be trimmed away entirely; it is the source of immense flavour and is essential for keeping the meat juicy during cooking.
  • Ethical Sourcing: We partner with local Zimbabwean farmers who raise their pigs on a nutritious diet in a healthy environment. A well-cared-for animal results in superior-tasting meat.

This meticulous attention to detail is the secret to delicious meals and is central to our promise.

The "Machikichori" Standard: Excellence Across All Meats

The prestigious "Machikichori" standard at Pronto Meats is not exclusive to our beef. It is our promise of excellence that extends to every product on our counter, including our entire pork selection. When you buy our pork, we guarantee it meets this high benchmark.

We believe every family in Zengeza deserves to experience the "Machikichori" standard of meat. We invite you to visit our butchery and taste "Machikichori" meat in the form of our succulent pork.

A Pork Cut for Every Dish, Prepared with Expertise

Our Zengeza butchery offers a wonderful selection of pork cuts, each expertly prepared by our skilled team.

  • Pork Roasts (Shoulder or Leg): The ultimate centrepiece. We prepare our roasts with the rind perfectly scored to help you achieve that coveted, crispy crackling.
  • Meaty Pork Ribs: A favourite for any braai or smoker. Our ribs are cut to have plenty of meat on them, perfect for absorbing your favourite marinades.
  • Juicy Pork Chops: Cut to an ideal thickness to ensure they stay moist and tender, our pork chops are perfect for a quick, flavourful weeknight meal.
