SRF Kurobuta Pork
The SRF Frenched pork chops are hand cut and trimmed to reveal the included rib bone for a gourmet touch on your dinner table. Our distinctive Kurobuta pork chops are finely marbled, exceptionally juicy and packed with flavor. Unlike commodity breeds, Snake River Farms pork is a striking crimson color which is a true indicator of superior quality pork. Serve these beautiful bone-in pork chops simply grilled or pan seared for excellent results.
There can be some variation in size with our natural pork chops. We hand-cut each chop to include a bone, and the normal taper of each rack can translate to some chops that are larger than others.
Average weight: 7 oz.
Kurobuta pork chops are a delicious change from commodity chops. They have a higher amount of intramuscular fat for a higher amount of flavor and moisture.
Pan searing and reverse searing are good methods to cook Kurobuta pork chops to develop a nice outer crust and maintain the moist interion.
Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your pork chop is done. The USDA recommends 145°F, but a lower temperature of 135°F produces more flavorful results.
In the 1960s and 70s, rare pork was associated with trichinosis. This fear continues to cause contemporary home cooks to overcook their chops. Today’s production methods are improved and very food safe. This means for the best results pork chops should be served closer to medium to maintain a high level of juicy flavor.
Like steaks, rest pork chops up to 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.

What is Kurobuta Pork?
Kurobuta is a heritage breed with flavor superior to commodity pork. This premium pork is known as Berkshire in England and Kurobuta in Japan, where it is considered the culinary equivalent of Wagyu beef. Kurobuta contains abundant marbling for a heightened flavor profile and higher pH which creates a deep pink color and an increased moisture content. The result is pork with robust juicy flavor, tender texture and a hint of natural sweetness.

The pork chops are exceptional,
"The pork chops are exceptional, the high quality of the pork is obvious and it's hard to choose between these and the double bone chops. So we alternate. Highly recommend"
— Joanne K. (5/5)
Oh my goodness! I have
"Oh my goodness! I have lost count of how many of these delicious, individually frozen frenched pork chops I have purchased and cooked. Seared, then 3 minutes on first side, flipped and cooked for 2 minutes! Let it rest a few minutes. Delish. Talked a senior gentleman into buying and trying. He remarked that it was the most chewable, flavorful chop he remembers eating. He is in his 90's! Thanks, SRF"

Always perfect- just about fool
"Always perfect- just about fool proof when you cook. Use their pork rub. I ran out and tried a similar rub and while the rub was very good, SNF Rub was better"
— paul O. (5/5)
I bought the double cut
"I bought the double cut pork chops and they’re unbelievable. One of my favorite cuts of pork ever. Especially because it looks like a small tomahawk the way that it’s cut. So it’s impressive. Both visually on the plate and the taste is unreal"
