KUROBUTA PORK

FRENCH TRIMMED DUKE OF BERKSHIRE PORK CHOPS

Duke of Berkshire Pork is butchered from the rare-breed ‘Berkshire pigs, descended from Queen Victoria’s prized boar named ‘Ace of Spades’. The meat is succulent and more flavourful than standard pork, with a more robust piggy flavour, as pork used to taste!

The reputation of this breed extends the world over and is highly prized in Japan as ‘Kurobuta’. The unique taste and meat quality are the results of the exceptional genetic properties of the Berkshire breed, which yield a finer and more delicate muscular structure and a waxier texture to the fat cells, with the taste and sensation of thick, crisp Pork crackling combined with this deliciously juicy pork meat. After cutting, there is very little loss of juice from the meat, which is much appreciated by chefs worldwide.

Berkshire pigs eat a lot more than most other breeds of pigs, and they are genetically predisposed to developing more fat within the meat. Furthermore, the sows give birth to only five or six piglets, half as many as most breeds. These two facts mean that breeders make a considerable investment in Berkshire pigs, and this investment is protected by ensuring that all the pork produced is of the very highest standard.
