Pork Belly, Cured, 2-3 lb. Slab (Avg. 2.5 lbs.)

PORK BELLY, CURED

This is made from uncured pork belly, but we dry cure it for you, like bacon.  You may want to choose this cut if you are worried about a bland dish that’s a little short on seasoning, plus the salt cure has a tenderizing effect.  Pork belly is a current rage, and there’s none better that pork belly from an Iberian pig.  Our pasture raised pigs produce a belly of creamy white, tasty fat lace with lean.  This cut comes from the lower part of the belly and has more lean than the bacon just above it.  The internet and modern cookbooks are full of pork belly recipes, so find your favorite if you don’t already have one.  But, just as with our bacon, don’t forget to save the flavorful drippings rendered while cooking your pork belly.  Store them refrigerated in a light-blocking, sealed container for cooking and seasoning future dishes.
