Heritage Pork Shank (2-3 lbs)
Heritage Pork Shank
Heritage Pork – Approximately 2–3 lbs per package (2 pieces)
Our heritage pork shank is sourced from responsibly raised pigs, delivering deep, rich flavor and natural tenderness. The shank is a flavorful, bone-in cut from the lower leg—packed with connective tissue and marrow that slow-cooks into melt-in-your-mouth succulence and rich, gelatinous broth or sauce. It’s a versatile, economical cut that transforms into something extraordinary with low-and-slow preparation.
Each package contains 2 generous shanks (approximately 2–3 lbs total), perfect for braising, roasting, smoking, or soup bases. This is real pork for real food lovers—clean, natural flavor with no additives or artificial ingredients.
Cooking Heritage pork shank excels with slow cooking methods that break down collagen into tender, juicy meat. Braise at 275–300°F for 3–5 hours in broth, wine, or vegetables, or slow-roast until fork-tender. Use the bone and marrow to enrich sauces, soups, or beans. Season simply with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Serve shredded with mashed potatoes, in stews, or as osso buco-style with risotto. The marrow and fat create deep, comforting flavor.
Nutrition Heritage pork shank provides high-quality protein from clean ingredients. A typical serving offers a good amount of protein for satiety and muscle support, along with natural B vitamins (like B12 and niacin) that contribute to energy and metabolism. It also contains zinc and iron, which support overall health—all from responsibly raised pork without artificial additives.
