Heritage pork with fine-grained marbling, a hint of sweetness, and superior texture
Kurobuta: The Best of the Midwest
True Story's Kurobuta Pork is celebrated for its extraordinary marbling, tenderness, and juiciness. Originating from the rare Berkshire breed with old-world genetics, this pork, known for its deep rosy coloring, fine-grained marbling, hint of sweetness, and superior texture, is a chef and restaurant favorite. True Story collaborates with family farms in the Midwest, committed to humane hog raising with the highest welfare standards. Raised outdoors in bedded pens, crate-free, and without antibiotics, this pork is not only better for the animal and the environment but also for you.
