Two tenderloins

Berkshire pork tenderloin is the best cut from pedigreed pigs! The Berkshire pig, the breed which produces Berkshire pork, is also know by its Asian name of Kurobuta and has become increasingly popular with chefs who enjoy serving Berkshire pork on their menus. This heritage breed of pig originated in the British Isles and has had a resurgence in popularity due to its true pork flavor and marbling which produces a naturally juicy meat. This pork is incredibly flavorful just as it is, no need for hours of marinating! No wonder it has become the darling of chefs in the finest restaurants. You may have forgotten what REAL pork tastes like. Two Berkshire pork tenderloins have an average total weight of  2 to 2 1/2 lbs. Plenty for a dinner party of six or eight.

Artisan/History/Story

Kurobuta” means “black pig” in Japanese. This heritage breed “pedigree pig” is much slower growing than your supermarket pig which is commercially farmed for quick time to market--NOT flavor. This is certified 100% pure Berkshire. The Kurobuta (or Berkshire) pig is a unique pig which has ancestry from the British Isles and Asia and is being carefully preserved by caring farmers here domestically. The farmers take extraordinary care in assuring these pedigree pigs a healthy and happy environment--of course free of hormones or antibiotics.

How to Prep/Store

These lean Berkshire pork tenderloins--two per pack--require very little trimming or 'handling." If not cooking a whole tenderloin for your dinner, wrap the unused portion in parchment paper then tightly wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to three days. If need be, freeze for later use. We recommend using a vacuum sealer with good quality freezer bags to protect the meat.

Recipe Ideas
