reaming up healthy, varied and delicious meals every day can be quite a challenge. But Otway Pork offers a solution on all three counts.

Otway Pork is bred free range near the pristine Otways region of south-western Victoria and is the only Australian pork producer to have RSPCA accreditation.

Pork is a lean source of protein and, with even less fat than skinless chicken breast, comes with the Heart Foundation’s tick of approval.

When you buy Otway Pork products you can also be sure there are no added growth hormones or other chemicals.

And you can forget any memories of dry, tasteless pork because Otway Pork is tender and delicious.

“Being bred outdoors and reared with plenty of room to move ensures our pigs grow as naturally as possible, resulting in juicier and more tender pork products,” says Otway Pork Manager Brendan Hume.

Otway Pork pigs are bred free range, which means sows are kept outdoors where they can wallow in mud and bear offspring in keeping with their natural instincts.

From birth, the piglets are free to play, forage, socialise and sleep in straw, before being reared in large, straw-lined eco-shelters with ample room for rest and exercise.  Otway Pork pigs are fed a grain-based diet, free of added growth hormones and antibiotics.

Only female pigs are selected for Otway Pork products, eliminating the risk of boar taint, with the meat also aged to maximise tenderness.

“Once people try our pork, they keep coming back for more – not only because it is chemical-free and RSPCA accredited, but because it also tastes fantastic,” Brendan Hume says.

Otway Pork is now available in more than 30 independent butchers and 60 Coles supermarkets across Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat.

Available cuts include leg steaks, schnitzels, fillets, medallions, rump steak, cutlets, leg strips and butterfly steaks, with some specialty butchers also using Otway Pork to create delectable hams and bacon.
