Pork Belly- 9 lbs

This is the cut used for the magical tasting pork buns that have hit the culinary scene over recent years. But Pork Belly is typically smoked or cured for bacon or pancetta. By dressing the belly with kosher salt, sugar, pink salt, ground pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and juniper, and keeping in a cool dark place for a few weeks, home cooks can enjoy a superb and long lasting product that can be used in hundreds of dishes.

Michael Ruhlman in his book Charcuterie, offers some excellent recipes for home curing pork bellies, as does Marcella Hazan in her seminal Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking.

All our pork is from pasture raised, hormone and antibiotic free animals. They are raised with care using traditional methods guaranteed to produce the very best tasting meat. Our pork comes from Certified Humane Berkshire pigs or Animal Welfare Approved Red Wattle pigs and are processed at a Certified Humane facility.
