So Karl – what is primal inflation?

Primal inflation is basically the term we use for the process of using specialised equipment to inject air into a primal cut of meat, such as the forequarters or hindquarters of a cut of beef or pork. What that does is inflate the connective tissues between the muscles, so that it’s easier to cut them cleanly.

Crucially, the air that we use is filtered and sterile – that means it’s free from any foreign bodies like oil and water molecules, or bacteria in the air. We obviously can’t work with air that hasn’t been carefully sterilised beforehand, as it would otherwise make the cut unsuitable for use. That would mean a lot of wastage!

In terms of the species it works best with, we primarily use it on beef and pork. To be honest if you’re thinking about taking advantage of this service, those are the ones I’d recommend. We tend to use primal inflation just before the deboning process begins, where it’s processed by the operators.

The United Kingdom has some of the highest animal husbandry standards in the world – schemes like the Cattle Tracing System ensure a high quality of life for each food animal, and ultimately the quality of meat it produces.

British butchers and similar industry professionals all play a crucial role in proudly upholding these enviable nationwide standards, and National Butchers’ Week was launched to celebrate their passion, knowledge and expertise, as well as the key role they play in local communities.
