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.

Pork pH has a great influence on palatability and 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 around 5.7.

This results in a more tender, juicy, and flavorful product. This is achieved through superior genetics and limited animal stress.
