Berkshire Pork

You may have heard Berkshire pork called Berkshire gold at some point, and there really is a reason for the denomination. This pork isn't your run-of-the-mill product, but rather, it's a savory gourmet treat from some of the finest hogs ever bred. Berkshire pork may be most known for its superb marbling, tenderness, and sweet, clean flavor.

Relatively new on the American gourmet scene, Berkshire pork hails from over four centuries of heritage breeding. Add to that a diet rich in fresh produce and oats, and you've found one of the true pork delicacies in the world. Often called the Kobe of pork, Berkshire pork continues to take gourmands by storm, surprising them with its deep flavors.

Berkshire Pork Stuns with Its Flavor

Also called Kurobuta--as it's called in Japan, which is the largest importer of the breed--you have probably seen Berkshire pork on the menu at top restaurants. Due to its rarity and extraordinary flavor, the product is often cost prohibitive for many chefs to use on a regular basis. Yet, you can experience the full-bodied flavor of Berkshire pork in your own home.

At Allen Brothers, we age our Berkshire pork to perfection, offering bone-in chops and bacon that are thick, juicy, and tender, so that you can enjoy it at home. You'll notice the flavor difference when compared to other pork with your very first bite. However, our Berkshire pork can be prepared in the same easy manner as other porks without sacrificing any of the rich flavor.
