Our Kurobuta pork collar is about 4 pounds of lusciously marbled 100% Berkshire pork that excels in recipes and is a great way to make smaller portions of pulled pork.
The Snake River Farms pork collar is a beautifully marbled cut with a rich, remarkable flavor. Pork collars are a familiar item in Europe, and because of their intense marbling, are used to make traditional sausages. Learn the difference between the pork collar vs. pork shoulder. This boneless cut is starting to gain a following in the U.S. and makes the occasional appearance on restaurant menus. The collar is cut from the shoulder portion that runs from the neck to the tip of the loin. This versatile, boneless item is excellent roasted, braised in stock or cut into chops and grilled.
Our pork collar is a natural product so the approximate weights can vary by +/- 0.5 pounds.
The collar is a muscle that starts at the jowl and ends close to the loin. This cut includes part of the “money muscle” used by competitive barbecue teams. The collar is well marbled and can be cooked low and slow or roasted.
The pork collar is used to make the Italian cured meat capocollo.

What Is Kurobuta Pork?
Kurobuta is the Japanese term for “black hog” and refers to animals of the Berkshire variety, a heritage breed kept pure for hundreds of years. Kurobuta pork is highly marbled with a beautiful dark color, firm texture, and naturally delicious flavor. Our animals are treated humanely and are raised on small family farms in the American Midwest without hormones using a natural slow feed process.
