Elevate your culinary creations with our premium Pastured Pork Shank, a robust and flavorful cut sourced from pigs raised naturally on open pastures. Also known as pork hock, this cross-section from the front leg is packed with connective tissue, bone, lean meat, fat, skin, and rich marrow, making it an umami explosion waiting to be discovered.
- Superior Flavor: Our pasture-raised pigs lead active lives, rooting and roaming freely, which develops an incredible, deep flavor and a desirable deeper pink hue in the meat, unlike conventional pork.
- Nutrient-Rich: Full of pasture-raised connective tissue, this cut is rich in nutrients like collagen, contributing to wholesome and deeply nutritious meals.
- Ethically Sourced: Raised without added hormones or antibiotics, our pigs thrive in their natural environment, resulting in ethically produced, high-quality meat you can feel good about.
- Ideal for Slow Cooking: The Pastured Pork Shank is perfect for low and slow cooking methods such as braising, slow roasting, or simmering in stews and soups. This process breaks down the tough muscles and connective tissue, yielding incredibly tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.
- Versatile Culinary Use: Transform this cut into hearty stews, rich braised dishes, a luscious ragu, or a rustic centerpiece like 'Pork Osso Buco'.
