What makes Berkshire pork special?

Berkshire genetics produce pork with a fine texture and generous intramuscular fat. This fat is soft, white and full of flavour, helping create beautifully tender, moist meat with a rich savoury taste and a hint of natural sweetness.

The result is a Christmas ham with a more distinctive depth of flavour and a soft, moist texture.
