Costco's boneless pork shoulder roast is sold by the pound in a vacuum-sealed saddle pack, a two-piece format where two boneless cuts are bundled together in a single cryovac package. The pork shoulder comes from the upper front leg of the pig and is well-marbled with connective tissue, making it an ideal cut for low-and-slow cooking methods such as smoking, braising, slow roasting, or pressure cooking.

The saddle pack format typically yields two generous roasts, offering excellent value for bulk cooking, meal prepping, or large gatherings. Once cooked low and slow, pork shoulder pulls apart easily and is popular for pulled pork, carnitas, pork stew, and other dishes where tender, flavorful meat is desired. The vacuum seal keeps the meat fresh and extends shelf life.
