Deboning
• Ostrich thighs are individually deboned. • Only the very best sections are cut and selected from the thighs. • This process ensures an optimum cutting method, in suitably controlled conditions.
Portioning
• A wide variety of portions are carefully selected. • Each portion is cut individually to ensure correct weight, thickness and grain. • Cutting is always in accordance with customer requirements. • Automatic weighing and grading is used to categorize all portions according each individual order.
Cooling
• KLEIN KAROO is able to offer products fresh-chilled or frozen. • Both blast freezing (takes longer to achieve desired temp.) and quick freezing are used. • Choice of cooling processes is in accordance with customer requirements.
Loading and dispatch
• The cold chain is maintained throughout by comprehensive isolation of the area around which trucks are loaded. • Product temperatures are carefully controlled and monitored. • The cold chain is strictly maintained throughout the distribution process. • KLEIN KAROO product quality and packaging integrity is thus of the highest possible international standard.
