Our Pork Porterhouse is a spectacular bone-in pork chop which includes both the main loin eye and the tenderloin. This chop is cut from 100% purebred heritage Berkshire pork, also known as Kurobuta, grown in our network of small family farms.
Mouth-watering to behold, the pork Porterhouse displays the fine marbling and bright crimson color that indicates its 100% Berkshire heritage. Each chop is cut to a wonderfully thick 1.25” to maximize the flavor and to create a beautiful presence on the plate. Skillfully cut by a master butcher from all natural pork raised without added hormones, buy our kurobuta pork now!
As with all our pork chops, this is a natural product and may have some variation in size. We specify a minimum of 9 oz. for this unique chop.
“Highly Recommended. Tasters raved about these reddish-pink chops’ extremely juicy, tender texture and “intense pork-y flavor…” "-- Cooks Illustrated

Pork chops are cut from the pork loin. This section of the hog is similar to the beef loin in both anatomy and the fact that tenderest cuts are sourced from this primal. The primary muscle that is found in chops is the longissimus dorsi.
Fast fact: The loin is the source of the most tender cuts of pork which is the origin of the term “high on the hog.”
