Freedom Farmed Pork Butt

Aprox 3.4-4.0kg

Pork butt, despite its colorful name, does not come from anywhere near the butt or behind of the pig. In fact, quite the opposite. Pork butt is a cut of meat from the shoulder of the pig. It comes from the thicker section of the shoulder where there is more intense marbling, or fat running through the meat.  Usually comes with skin on.

How to Cook:
Both pork butt and pork shoulder cuts do best with long, slow cooking and are excellent choices to be barbecued, braised, or used as stew meat, as well as roasted or cooked in slow-cookers. They also stand up well to strong flavors (think barbecue sauce or chiles) because they have a strong flavor themselves.
