What is Rib Meat?
Rib meat comes from the flavorful and tender section of the carabeef carcass between ribs 6 and 12. This area is less active compared to the shoulder (chuck), allowing it to retain intramuscular fat (marbling) that enhances both flavor and tenderness. It includes premium cuts like rib-eye, prime rib, and short ribs — all renowned for their richness, succulence, and versatility in both traditional and gourmet cooking.
About Rib Meat
Rib meat is one of the most desirable parts of the carabeef (water buffalo). The balance between flavorful fat and tender meat makes it ideal for both home cooking and fine dining. Unlike the leaner loin cuts, rib meat offers indulgence — perfect for festive dishes, gourmet steaks, and slow-cooked delicacies. Its richness comes from its location, where the muscles are not heavily worked, allowing fat and tenderness to develop naturally.
Rich Marbling
Fat woven through the muscle ensures a juicy, buttery texture.
Naturally Tender
Comes from a low-activity muscle group — results in melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Excellent Flavor
High fat content means deeper, more savory taste.
Premium Cuts
Rib-eye, prime rib, and short ribs are all derived from this prized section.
Great for Slow & High-Heat Cooking
Perfect for roasting, grilling, or braising.

Ethically sourced and meets halal standards.
