HOKKAIDO WHEY PORK Japan Hokkaido Pork Belly [Previously Frozen]

HOKKAIDO WHEY PORK Japan Hokkaido Pork Belly is a branded pork product from Hokkaido, Japan, specifically referring to the pork belly (the abdominal area) cut.

Its defining feature is the unique rearing method—the pigs are fed whey during their growth, which gives the meat a distinctive and superior flavor.

• "Hokkaido Whey Pork" is a certified brand. According to the Hokkaido Whey Pork Council, pigs must be fed at least 135 liters of whey during the fattening period before shipment in order to be officially designated as "Hokkaido Whey Pork."

• Unique Flavor & Texture: This feeding method gives the pork a fruity aroma with no unpleasant "porky" smell, along with tender, sweet-tasting meat and refreshing, melt-in-your-mouth fat. The fat has a low melting point, so it feels light and not greasy on the palate.

• Health & Safety: The pigs are raised in a natural, stress-free environment in Hokkaido, with full monitoring from breeding to fattening. The whey also has gut-regulating effects, promoting healthy growth in the pigs.

"Pork Belly" is the fatty cut from the underside of the pig, typically featuring distinct layers of fat and lean meat. Key characteristics of this specific product include:

• Relatively High Lean Meat Ratio: Despite being pork belly, this product has a higher proportion of lean meat compared to standard bellies.

• Tender and Juicy: The meat is fine-textured, tender, and full of juice.

• Consume within 2 days, starting on the delivery date.
• Approx. 180g/pack
