Berkshire Pork
The Berkshire Difference
BERKSHIRE PORK TRAITS
Why settle for a pale imitation when you can have the real thing? Berkwood Farms’ 100% certified pure heirloom Berkshire pork is distinctive for its rich ruby color and exquisite marbling, tenderness, and depth of flavor.
Don't just take our word for it. In 1992, the National Pork Board tested nine sire lines for their meat and eating quality. Berkshire pork placed first in nineteen of twenty traits, including:
- loin color
- loin tenderness
- loin marbling
- best tasting in all test categories
- superior cooked moisture content
Berkwood Farms Berkshire Pork is nothing short of perfection on a plate – tender, juicy and flavorful – every single bite.
Meat Quality
Pork pH has a great influence on palatability and the quality of the meat. Findings of a 2-year project show Berkwood Farms’ 100% Berkshire pork has an average pH of 6.1 compared to the commodity pork with a more acidic pH of around 5.7.
This results in a more tender, juicy, and flavorful product. This is achieved through superior genetics and limited animal stress.
