Premium pork shoulder butt, also known as Boston butt, sourced from the upper portion of the pig's front leg shoulder. This bone-in cut features excellent marbling throughout and includes the shoulder blade bone, which helps maintain even heat distribution and moisture retention during cooking. The cut typically includes the prized collar or "money muscle" section, considered the most flavorful part of the shoulder. Vacuum packaged for freshness and sold by the pound with average weights around 19 pounds.
This versatile cut is ideal for low-and-slow cooking methods including smoking, braising, and slow roasting. The generous fat content and connective tissue break down during extended cooking to create tender, juicy pulled pork when cooked to 200-205°F. The bone-in version is preferred by pitmasters and home cooks for superior flavor, moisture retention, and even cooking compared to boneless alternatives.
Perfect for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, nachos, BBQ platters, carnitas, and other slow-cooked preparations. The mild flavor profile accepts rubs, marinades, and sauces exceptionally well, making it suitable for diverse cuisines from traditional American BBQ to Cuban mojo pork to Asian-inspired preparations.
