Maders

Butchering in Pretoria's climate and with local sourcing patterns isn't as simple as taking a carcass and cutting it up. Temperature control from farm to counter matters enormously—summer heat in Gauteng can turn careless handling into a food safety problem within hours. Maders operates with the regional understanding that Pretoria's distance from major coastal suppliers means working with local livestock cycles and seasonal availability. Proper aging, correct storage during load-shedding periods, and knowledge of which local suppliers deliver consistent quality—these are the practical skills that separate a functioning butchery from one that's just moving product. The work involves real attention to detail on every transaction, not shortcuts that look fine until something goes wrong.
