The porchetta is a savory boneless pork specialty seasoned with spices and hand rolled into a roast. Made from 100% Kurobuta (Berkshire) pork which is much more marbled and flavorful than conventional varieties. Delicious served in slices or as the filling for a traditional Italian sandwich.
Porchetta is a traditional Italian roast of herb scented pork that is juicy in the center with a crackling fat cap on the outside. We make ours from a 100% Kurobuta boneless pork belly with the loin attached for a rich exterior and finely marbled interior. A layer of seasoning and spices is sprinkled on by hand before the beautiful roast is rolled and tied with twine.
This is an unexpected dish that is perfect for holiday meals and special occasions. Our Porchetta is very rich and a little goes a long way. Try it as a replacement for a turkey at Thanksgiving or as an extra center-of-the-plate item for a large crowd. This savory, boneless porchetta is seasoned, rolled and ready for the oven.
Meatology
The porchetta is made from the pork belly. In terms of human anatomy, the “belly” is equivalent to stomach. This is not the case in meatology terms, as this refers to the meat that runs on the underside of the hog. The Snake River Farms pork belly is a single ribbed, skinless cut. The primary muscle is thetransversus abdominis.
Fast fact: Pork belly is globally one of the most popular and beloved food items. In Asia, Europe and South America it is much more highly regarded than here in the States.
