Rabbit Saddle, Bone-In

In Stock
Rabbit meat is light, tender, lean and finely textured, and works well with many recipes, in any season. A staple of Italian and French kitchens, rabbit meat is a rarer pleasure in the U.S. Our rabbit comes from Italy where third-generation farmers remain dedicated to traditional methods. The rabbits are fed a clean diet of sweet alfalfa grasses, oats, wheat, and barley; their consistent and regulated diet produces unadulterated rabbit, with no traces of antibiotics, hormones or other chemicals. Rabbit offers more protein and less fat than both beef and chicken and requires fewer resources to bring it to market. This makes it among the most environmentally friendly meats available, as well as the ultimate healthy meat. Our Italian rabbit program includes expertly butchered parts based on three generations of rabbit raising tradition.

Bone-in rabbit saddles offer culinary versatility. Chefs commonly remove the loins from the saddles to create dishes like roulades or porchetta. Additionally, the bones can be saved to prepare flavorful sauces, making this cut highly appreciated in professional kitchens.
We are proud to work with a small family farm in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy that has been raising rabbits for three generations. They are committed to providing the best possible product in terms of quality, consistency and reliability - and their butchering is impeccable. Because rabbits reproduce rapidly, and naturally live in tight burrows, they can be raised humanely in smaller spaces. They also consume fewer resources than cattle or chickens, making them one of the most efficient animals to farm. The farm raises Californian White and New Zealand White breeds known for exceptional genetics, producing sweet and tender meat with this delicious crossbreed. The farm meets or exceeds the stringent EU standards for the 5 Freedoms of animal welfare. The rabbits are fed a clean diet of sweet alfalfa grasses, oats, wheat and barley. A consistent and regulated diet ensures unadulterated rabbit with no traces of antibiotics, hormones or other chemicals.
