Heritage pork with fine-grained marbling, a hint of sweetness, and superior texture
Kurobuta: The Best of the Midwest
Extraordinary marbling, tenderness and juiciness are what True Story’s Kurobuta Pork is known for. The Kurobuta breed, also known as Berkshire, comes from a heritage line of old-world genetics — so it’s very rare you’ll find this type of pork at your grocery store. With a deep rosy coloring, fine-grained marbling, hint of sweetness and superior texture, it’s no wonder why this pork is the top choice of chefs and restaurants! True Story works with a network of family farms in the Midwest to bring this exceptional pork to you, farms dedicated to raising their hogs humanely with the highest welfare standards. Their pigs are raised outdoors with bedded pens, crate-free, and never receive antibiotics — which is better for the animal, better for the environment, and better for you.
