Experts of the field
Huber’s Butchery had humble beginnings in 2007 as a single meat counter at a branch of Fairprice Finest’s first supermarket. This would be the bud of brothers Ryan and Andre Huber’s vision of creating a retail culinary haven.
This vision was built upon the legacy of their father, Ernst Huber, a veteran chef and expert butcher. Huber senior has imparted to his sons the art and science of butchery, laying the foundation for the brothers' culinary journey, and instilling in them a profound understanding of the craft. This, the brothers took on their mission to deliver only the finest meat products, and beyond.
The family’s deep expertise within the industry has nurtured a relationship with renowned suppliers and producers from around the world – such as Australia’s most awarded beef brand Stockyard and Australian lamb from Marrunga Marble. Other exclusive products include the Hirai grain-fed Japanese Wagyu from Kyoto; Mangalica pork from Hungary; and Lilydale Free Range Chickens from Australia. To note, Huber’s Butchery also holds the honour of being the first butchery in the world to sell and serve cultivated chicken from GOOD Meat.
Not limiting their exclusive partnerships to meat products, Huber’s Butchery brings to their customers the liquid gold from Casas de Hualdo, the celebrated Spanish olive oil producer that is rated one of the best in the world.
With the art of butchery at the core of the business, one would find a team of experienced, long serving butchers, some with a background as chefs. Always ready to share their knowledge, these passionate experts are at hand to help customers select the perfect cut and lend cooking recommendations.
