Pasture-Raised Pork · Shoulder
Called a chop. Cook it like a roast.
Cut across the shoulder, bone and all. The one cut on this page that does not want a hot pan.

What makes it different
It is shoulder, not loin
Every other chop we sell is cut from the back. This one is cut across the shoulder, which is the hardest-working muscle on the animal. It is shaped like a chop and it behaves like a pot roast.
Connective tissue is the point
A shoulder chop is laced with collagen and seams of fat. Cooked fast it is chewy. Cooked long and low, that collagen turns to gelatin and the chop goes soft enough to eat with a spoon.
This is the one people get wrong. 145°F is the worst place to stop on this cut. It is past raw and nowhere near tender. Either take it well beyond that, or pick a loin chop instead.
From the farm
We sell these cheap because they look like a chop and cook like a roast, and that catches people out. Give one two hours in a covered pan with an onion and you will not go back to the expensive ones.
How to cook them
01
Brown them first. Hard, in a dry hot pan. Both sides, until they are properly dark. This is flavour you cannot add later.
02
Then get them wet and cover them. Stock, cider, tinned tomatoes — halfway up. Add an onion. Put the lid on.
03
Low oven, two hours. 300°F, and do not hurry it. Check at ninety minutes. They are done when a fork twists in the meat with no resistance.
04
Aim for about 195°F. Tender is the test, not the number. Well past the 145°F you would use on a loin chop, and that is deliberate.
