What makes these beautiful bone-in chops so much better (and delicious) than pork found in the grocery store butcher case? Three words: 100%. Purebred. Berkshire. Berkshire pork is a heritage breed known across the globe for being tender, flavorful, and juicy. In fact, many consider Berkshire to be the Wagyu of pork - a distinction you'll immediately appreciate upon your first taste!
Berkshire hogs are wonderfully tender with exceptional marbling that delivers an intense flavor and juiciness pork lovers everywhere crave. And due to Berkshires having a higher PH level, the meat has a dark, almost crimson red color that pops off your plate. Add to that their thick, bone-in appearance, and you have a meal that doubles as a culinary work of art.
Make no mistake…these are the pork chops that America's Original Butcher would take home to share with their family. In fact, these are the best tasting chops you'll ever experience - guaranteed!

Oven: Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove pork from packaging. Lightly oil and generously season all sides of pork. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When oil is hot, add pork to the pan and sear 2-3 minutes per side. Place the pork on an elevated rack in a roasting pan. Cook 20-25 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 145°F when inserted into the thickest part of the pork chop. Do not overcook. Allow 10 minutes resting time before serving.
Grill: Preheat grill to high, reduce to medium heat prior to cooking. Remove pork from packaging. Lightly oil and generously season all sides of pork. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Turn grill down to medium on one side and low on the other. Place pork chops over hot side of grill and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move pork chops to cool side of the grill. Cover and cook until meat registers 145°F on an meat thermometer when inserted into the thickest part of the pork chop. Remove pork from grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
