From the Block: The Butcher's Blog

The Naked Butcher is Perth's only online butcher where every single product is 100% gluten free — sausages, pies, crumbed products, the lot. No hidden nasties, no cross-contamination guessing. Just clean, organic, grass fed meat delivered across Perth.

Most conventional hams (and pork) sold in Australian supermarkets —and even many retail butchers — come from pigs raised in intensive factory farming systems, meaning that the pigs and piglets are kept indoors on concrete slabs with barely any space to move freely throughout their lives.

At the heart of everything we do is the ethical treatment of animals. We have never, and will never stock products sourced from intensive farming. Every ham in our store is made on-site  using certified Western Australian Free Range Pork and naturally smoked in our in-store smokehouse.

At The Naked Butcher, we've always been dedicated to serving you the finest quality meats, and today, we are thrilled to introduce our newest supplier - Murray Grey Beef from Bailup, Western Australia. This exceptional breed, cultivated in the heart of WA, brings a world of unique benefits to your dining table. Let's take a sneak peek into what makes Murray Grey cattle stand out from the herd.

Australians love their lamb - that is no secret! With its buttery flavour and delicate texture, lamb has truly become part of Australia’s identity.

But what exactly constitutes as lamb in Western Australia, and how does it differ from other popular ovine options such as hogget and mutton?

Meat the man behind The Naked Butcher. Gary Hine took a huge gamble, changing the way his butcher shop operated two years ago. With the pandemic, labour shortages and rising costs to operate a local butcher shop, Gary shut down the shop front and focused on running an online business model to service his customers. Hear his story in this Episode of The Australian Butchers Guild Podcast.

Grass Fed isn’t always grass finished, but grass finished is always grass fed?! 

Now there is a sentence that will confused you!

In Australia, grass-fed beef has risen in popularity as consumers become ever more discerning about where their meat comes from, how it is produced, and how it may impact their health.  

Unfortunately, despite these positive trends in consumer behaviour, Australian labelling laws allow for a confusing and misleading representation for what ‘grass-fed’ truly means.
