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.

"Ribs were considerably smaller which is what other reviewers mentioned. They tasted pretty good but so little meat. It was decent but is likely a “one and done” for me. I used the 3-2-1 method in my smoker. That might a bit much for these ribs. Not bad, but not for me."

Very tasty, but I think
"Very tasty, but I think I screwed up the cook, fell completely off bone as I unwrapped it and was soaking in fat in package. Gonna do next one unwrapped on the Traeger and hope I have better results ."

Everything I get from SRF
"Everything I get from SRF is absolutely the best. I’ve recently started getting their pork products, boneless fully cooked 1/2 ham. I have had many many hams over the years, honey baked, Virginia hams and assorted others. The srf ham was by far far the best ever. Juicey, flavorful, tender. I will never buy another brand again. the entire family was extremely impressed."
