The rich German tradition of master butchers, known as Fleischermeisters is a centuries-old practice rooted in preparing, curing and cutting of the finest of meats. Skilled artisans pass down specialised techniques and recipes from generation to generation. At Hartlief, we honour this tradition by employing dedicated Fleischermeisters who use time-honoured techniques to produce the highest quality meats. This legacy is reflected in the delicious taste of our products.

Quality & Ageing
For more than seven decades, Hartlief has remained steadfast in its commitment to delivering quality meat products that stand the test of time. The processes that have brought us success haven’t changed as we continue to produce premium meats in the same way we always have.
One of Hartlief's distinguishing factors is its mastery of aging, or "ripening," of meat. This natural process enhances the flavour and tenderness of the meats, making the culinary experience truly exceptional. The muscle in beef and other meats undergoes gradual changes that contribute to the tenderness of the final cooked product.
