Peter Woorts

Owner

For many years, Slagerij Woorts had a location on Maastraat in Amsterdam. Although it is now owned by someone else, the popular beef sausage and filet americain are still produced by Woorts and supplied to various wholesalers and supermarkets.

About the Makers
Piet Woorts first opened the doors of Slagerij Woorts on the Maasstraat in 1964. His son, Peter has also been working there since he was fifteen. The father as son collaboration pleased both of them. Since the start of the butcher shop, beef sausage and filet Americain have been the most popular products. For years, Woorts has been producing this at the back of the butcher’s shop, in the same room where the meat for the store is boned. With the introduction of new, stricter hygiene rules, the company was forced to move production in 1989. It became Abcoude, close to Amsterdam.

After 57 successful years, Woorts stopped their butcher shop in Maasstraat in 2022 (taken over by Arend ten Wolde). However, in Abcoude, Woorts still makes a large quantity of beef sausage and filet americain every week, which is delivered to various wholesalers and supermarkets. Peter is now the owner of Woorts.

Traditional Production Process
One of the most important factors for the butcher shop is that everything is done with respect for the product and the consumer. Slagerij Woorts works together with slaughterhouses that work in a traditional way. Peter: “We want people to work with attention, so that the animal, and the meat, gets what it deserves.” The beef supplied to the butcher shop comes from various Dutch farms.

By working to order, Woorts always has fresh ingredients. “On Tuesday the cow is slaughtered, on Thursday it is sausage.” Slagerij Woorts is BRC certified and many of the products have the Beter Leven quality mark with two stars or the Bio Quality Mark with three stars, which they are of course very proud of.

At the moment Slagerij Woorts does not have its own website.
