Pork Hock

Product Details

Our Pork Hock is a deeply flavorful, collagen-rich cut from the lower leg of the hog that has been prized in traditional cooking cultures around the world for generations. Loaded with connective tissue, marrow, and rich pork flavor, the hock transforms during a long, slow braise or simmer into something extraordinary — tender, gelatinous, and deeply satisfying in a way that only slow-cooked collagen-rich cuts can deliver.

Our hogs are raised on chemical free pastures and woods where they root, roam, and forage freely. They are fed a corn, soy, and flax free non-GMO diet and raised with no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no vaccines. Working cuts like hocks from clean, active pasture raised animals have an exceptional depth of flavor that comes from the way they lived.

Cooking Tip: Braise the hock low and slow in stock, wine, aromatics, and root vegetables for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and falling from the bone. You can also simmer it in a large pot for 2 to 3 hours to make an incredibly rich, gelatinous broth as the base for soups, beans, or braised greens. Perfect for split pea soup, white bean and ham hock stew, slow braised collard greens, German-style roasted hock with sauerkraut, or anywhere you want deep, rich pork flavor in the background of a dish.

The pork hock is a cut that rewards people who cook with intention. The long cook time, the rich collagen, and the deep flavor make it one of the most nourishing and satisfying cuts on the whole animal.

We ship your pork hock frozen with dry ice in eco friendly insulated packaging straight to your door, so you always have a clean, trusted protein ready for your next slow cook project.
