Pasture-Raised Pork · Shoulder
The best-marbled part of the shoulder.
The collar sits where the shoulder runs into the loin. It carries the finest fat of anything on the shoulder, and it comes off small enough to roast on a weeknight.

What makes it different
Collar, coppa, capicola — one muscle.
Coppa and capicola are what the collar becomes after it is cured. Sold plain like this it is simply a roast, and you can take it either way.
Small enough to be useful.
A whole butt roast is a weekend project. A two-pound collar is done in an afternoon, which makes it the shoulder cut for an ordinary Tuesday.
The marbling the rest of the shoulder wishes it had.
Fine fat runs between the muscle fibres here rather than sitting in a cap on top, so it bastes itself evenly the whole way through.
If you have ever wanted to try curing something at home, the collar is the forgiving place to start — it is small, it is fatty, and it is hard to ruin.
From the farm
We leave the collar whole instead of cutting it into steaks, because it is better as a roast than it ever is as a chop.
How to cook it
01
Salt it well and early. About a tablespoon of coarse salt per pound, uncovered in the fridge overnight, dries the surface and seasons the middle.
02
Start it covered. 300°F, covered, for about two hours gives the connective tissue time to soften before the outside gets away from you.
03
Finish it open. Uncover it for the last twenty minutes and let the outside brown and the fat crisp.
04
Take it to about 195°F. It will not slice neatly at that point — it comes apart in soft chunks, and that is what you want from this cut.
