Organic Pork Boston Butt

Here we have it; the perfect joint to create juicy, oozing pulled pork. To get the fantastic pulled texture, you need a joint with delicious fat marbling throughout to keep it moist and tender while cooking. And why is it called a Boston Butt? Well, rather misleadingly this cut is from the shoulder blade of the animal. The story goes that back in the colonial days, New England butchers took less prized cuts of pork, packed them into barrels known as butts and shipped them off to other places. It may not have been a prized cut back then, but we think it is pretty special and a true showstopper for your BBQ spread.

At The Organic Butchery, we believe pigs should live in sociable family groups; they should live outdoors for as much of the year as possible and they should be able to rootle with their snouts and wallow in mud. The sustainable, organic system in which our pigs live has animal welfare at its core and produces amazing meat as a result.
