The price for 1kg wolly-porkbelly is 7,50 € which is pretty low and should contain much fat, but I like to ask them. The shipping costs are high, but considering that it must be cooled and transported over a longer distance it is normal and in total for 10kg meat ~20€. And the last butchering was at the end of August.
I like to order maybe about 4kg in the next days, well if possible and available.
But as I researched a bit about meat, I think it is important, what for example Lierre Keith wrote in her book, to get into contact to local organic-meat-farmers and maybe hunters as well.

Hi Gawan,
Were you able to order these 4 kilos? And does the pork belly contain a lot of fat?
I speak German, but it is not terribly good and writing e-mails in German is still a bit of a hassle. ;)
I am actually thinking of asking family members and neighbours if they are interested in purchasing some meat so that we can share the costs.

Yes, bacon is made from pork belly so good fat content.
I nowadays just get a slab of pork belly, brine it and bake it at low temperature in the oven so that the meat part is nice and tender and the fat just falls off.
Going this way is cheaper than buying bacon.

Oh sorry, I read your answer only now. I did refrain from buying it cause of money then.
And as domi wrote already general pork belly contains a lot of fat.

Yes, pork belly is very fatty. But one thing you should be wary of is that they are also fed corn in the above description.

Hi SeekinTruth
I thought the corn will be the natural food for pork if it is free to run around, same as turnip for example?
