The Snake River Farms Kurobuta pork belly is rich with flavor and possesses a remarkable melt-in-your-mouth texture. Our pork belly is at its best prepared with a low temperature, slow cook technique like braising or oven roasting to develop a meltingly delicious tenderness. A final sear will impart a beautiful brown finish that is crisp and addictive.
Our pork products are produced without the skin and we are not able to fulfill requests for a skin-on pork belly. The average weight is 6 pounds. Our Berkshire pork belly is a natural product and the actual weight may vary by +/- 0.5 pounds.
