DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Pork Belly is the piece of flesh that runs around the "belly" of the pig and surrounds the stomach. It is NOT the stomach. It is one long cut of meat with plenty of fat worked into the meat, which is why it is prized for curing and turning into bacon or pancetta. This is where BACON comes from. How about that?
We source them from Comfrey Farms in Minnesota.
Our Heritage pork has ever given antibiotics, has been fed a 100% vegetarian, no added hormones, crate free, and has no artificial ingredients.

REAL REVIEWS, FROM REAL CUSTOMERS
- Rated 2 out of 5 stars1 year agoTastes good but less meat than expected
I wanted to love this but I'm pretty disappointed.
I ordered a 4-5 lb piece which weighed in at 4.25 lbs. However, the side towards the outside of the slab didn't have much meat. I took a photo of the cross-section for reference. After trimming my yield was:
2.25 lbs (50%~) of the slab was fit for making bacon
1 lbs of various trim for frying up
and 1 lb of what was basically a mini slab of fat that was over an inch thick (this doesn't include the fat layer I left on the meat!)
which seems pretty poor for what's supposed to be a premium product. I would not recommend this sadly.
I gave 1 star since the quality of the meat itself was good, though not worth the price point after factoring in the trim

AAnonymousVerified Buyer - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoGreat meat
The meat was tender and juicy. I used part of it to slowly roast a honey chili glazed pork belly and I prepared the other part in a porchetta style

JCJennifer C.Verified Buyer - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoGreat product at a fair price!
I purchased the 5lb skin off belly to make dry cured, apple wood smoked bacon. It arrived when promised in great condition. At the end of the 8 day curing and smoking process I got to sample the fruits of my efforts and was ecstatic with the end result.
