Berkshire Pork
The Berkshire breed has been revered for its outstanding quality, texture and flavor for over 300.years. Originating in England, the pure breed has been known to produce tender, dark, juicy meat with high marbling.

Studies have concluded that Berkshire pigs top all other breeds in such categories as meat marbling, moisture, and tenderness. It reminds you of what pork used to taste like, sweet and succulent, before producers focused their efforts on hog breeds that produce the very lean but flavorless pork featured in supermarkets today. The reason most supermarket pork is “water injected” is to try to overcome the inherent dryness caused by the lack of marbling. In contrast the higher fat content and fine marbling of a Berkshire compliments the rich and distinctive flavor profile of the meat to naturally produce a result that is both flavorful and tender.

The moisture retention capacity of Berkshire meat exceeds that of regular pork; hence it is known for its low drip loss. Broek Pork Berkshires, like all of our pigs, are not force fed and are raised in a relaxed and natural environment. Careful long term growing of the Berkshires ensures high quality meat enhanced marbling and fully finished animals
