Fresh meat

Color/Marbling

One of the most important aspects of quality meat is its color and marbling. For beef, the color should be a deep red, and the marbling should be white or light-colored. For chicken, the color should be white with no yellow spots. And pork should be reddish pink with some marbling throughout. At MeatBone Market, we only carry the highest quality meats with optimal color and marbling!

Testing firmness of meat

Firmness

The next sign of quality meat is its firmness. If you press down on the surface of the meat and it springs back up, that means it's fresh and full of nutrients. However, if the meat feels mushy or leaves an imprint when you touch it, that means it's not as fresh and might not be as flavorful. Whether you're on the hunt for a boneless ribeye or T-bone steak, MeatBone Market is guaranteed to have the firmest, freshest meats in town!

Odor

Another way to tell if meat is high-quality is by smelling it. Fresh meat will have a slightly sweet smell or no smell at all, while bad meat will have a sour smell. If you need of some guidance, ask one of our butchers at MeatBone Market and they'll be more than happy to help you out!

Meat slabs

Lack of Moisture

Quality meat should also be relatively dry to the touch. If there's too much moisture on the surface of the meat, that means it's not very fresh and may not taste as good. At MeatBone Market, we make sure all of our meats are dry and ready to cook!
