Ethical Supply

We Source

We source meat from trusted, accredited suppliers across Ireland and the EU, operating under rigid animal welfare, biosecurity, and food safety standards.

Where we make an Irish meat claim, however, the meat is Bord Bia approved and fully traceable. We source from accredited slaughterhouses throughout Ireland and the EU to ensure consistent, secure supply for our commercial partners.

Bord Bia Approved Irish Sourcing

Fully traceable Bord Bia Quality Assurance compliance for all Irish meat products.

Farm-to-Fork Digital Barcode Traceability

Instantaneous digital verification linking every retail package back to accredited origin.

Sourcing Integrity

Our procurement policy ensures total transparency for enterprise retail buyers requiring audited supply chain credentials.

  • ✓ Bord Bia Approved for Irish Meat Claims
  • ✓ Accredited Irish & EU Slaughterhouse Suppliers
  • ✓ Unbroken Traceability & Quality Assurance

Precision Curing Science

Our curing process combines generational brine recipes with multi-needle precision injection and controlled maturation vats.

Brine Salinity Control Automated Refractometry
Curing Maturation Period 48 - 72 Hours Chilled Rest
Yield & Succulence Optimal Cooked Retention
Master Curing

We Craft Cure - Curing

Meat curing is at the core of Connolly's Meats heritage. We specialize in high-volume industrial curing engineered for superior tenderness, succulence, and slice integrity.

Using specialized curing brine tanks and multi-needle injection systems, brine solution is evenly distributed throughout primal cuts. The meat is then rested in climate-controlled vats to allow complete flavor maturation prior to slicing.

Traditional Immersion & Injection Curing

Balanced curing brine preserving natural meat color, succulence, and traditional Irish bacon flavor profile.

Consistent Slice Yield for Retailers

Controlled brine absorption eliminates excess water purge in retail packages, maximizing consumer cooking satisfaction.

Retail Innovation

Packaging

Our packaging plant operates high-speed automated lines delivering Modified Atmosphere (MAP), Vacuum Skin (VSP), and Thermoformed Vacuum packaging tailored for major retail shelf formats.

Modified Atmosphere (MAP)

Food-grade CO2/N2 gas-flushed atmosphere doubling chilled retail shelf-life without chemical additives.

  • • Mono-PET Recyclable Trays
  • • Easy-Peel & Re-sealable Film
