Pork Boston Butt
Our Berkshire Pork Boston Butt comes from heritage breed pigs raised with care and attention to quality. This cut is from the upper shoulder of the pig, a hard-working muscle that develops rich marbling and deep flavor you won't find in conventional pork.
The Boston Butt is ideal for slow cooking methods. Braise low and slow, smoke for hours, or roast until tender to achieve pulled pork perfection. The marbling throughout this cut keeps the meat moist and flavorful during long cooking times.
Each Boston Butt weighs approximately 8-10 lbs and arrives frozen.
**Due to California Law, we cannot ship any Pork that is not Proposition 12 certified into the state of California.
