This beautiful pork shoulder comes from special Iberico breed pigs raised outdoors in the Hill Country of Texas. This pork has a deep color and rich marbling, perfect for roasting to perfection.

These exceptional pork shoulders are sourced from Iberico pigs raised on Trails End Ranch by Ashly Martin, a third-generation rancher in Comfort, Texas. The pigs roam freely, enjoying a diet of acorns, grass, herbs, sweet mesquite beans, prickly pear fruit and other wild foods. This unique Texan diet imparts a complex, full flavor to the pork.

Years ago, a herd of purebred Iberico pigs was flown from Spain to America. Upon reaching the 1,500-acre ranch, the pigs thrived in the Texas hill country, a landscape reminiscent of the ‘dehesa’ rangeland of western Spain.

All Texas Iberico® pigs live their entire lives outdoors, each enjoying over an acre of rangeland. The pork is certified Animal Welfare Approved by the AGW organization, which Consumer Reports acknowledges as the only “highly meaningful” food label for farm animal welfare.

Your pork will be delivered frozen on dry ice. Make sure to thaw it before cooking. The USDA advises cooking all whole cuts of meat, including pork, to an internal temperature of 145°F, measured with a food thermometer in the thickest part of the meat.
