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.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

How much ham per person?

We recommend at least 8 oz. for each person at your table. If you want to have leftovers or your crowd is full of hearty eaters, use 12 oz. for your calculations.

How to smoke a ham

Place the ham directly on the smoker, cover, and allow it to smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (approximately 4 hours).

Once the ham reaches 135°F, brush the entire ham with the glaze. Cover the smoker and allow the glaze to set for 5 minutes. Coat the ham once more with the glaze, cover the smoker, and allow the ham to continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Repeat the glazing process until the glaze is gone or the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.

Remove the ham from the smoker and allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
