Pork Side Fat

Premium Pork Side Fat — BBQ & Grill Specialty Cut

Pork Side Fat is a rare and highly prized specialty cut taken from the diaphragm edge of the pig. This unique cut combines lean muscle tissue with delicate ribbons of natural fat and connective tissue, producing an extraordinarily juicy, chewy-with-a-bounce texture when grilled or roasted.

Each piece displays beautiful natural marbling with alternating layers of deep red lean meat and creamy white fat. When cooked over high heat, the fat renders slowly, basting the lean meat from within and creating an irresistible caramelized exterior with a tender, succulent interior.

It can also be sliced thin for stir-frying with vegetables, diced into stews for added richness, or cubed for hot pot. The key is high, direct heat to render the fat properly.

Storage: Keep frozen at -18°C or below. Slice partially frozen for easier cutting.
