Boston butt Duke of Berkshire

The Boston butt is a classic cut from the shoulder of the pig. The meat has a nice fat marbling and is ideal for slow cooking. Whether you use it for pulled pork or cook it slowly on the barbecue, this cut of shoulder meat delivers flavor and texture that only improve with slow cooking.

What is a Boston butt?

The Boston butt is the upper part of the shoulder, often with slightly more fat than the lower part. This fat releases flavor during cooking and keeps the meat tender. This cut is often used for low & slow cooking, where the meat slowly falls apart into loose strands. Pulled pork is the best-known example of this, but the Boston butt can also be cooked in larger pieces for hearty dishes with character.

Duke of Berkshire

The Duke of Berkshire is a descendant of the English Berkshire breed, a rare Celtic pig breed known for its rich flavor and fine meat texture. The meat is darker in color and has a high pH value, which means it loses hardly any moisture during cooking. This makes it particularly flavorful and consistent in quality. The pigs are kept in spacious and animal-friendly conditions, with a strong focus on nutrition and welfare. The result is meat with a distinctive character and a reliable origin.
