Berkshire, also known as Kurobuta, is prized as the best pork available worldwide. Due to heavily marbled fat, it is richer in flavor and more darkly colored than conventional white pork. It also retains moisture better, guaranteeing juicy, succulent, tender meat.
Berkshire pork has been around for more than 300 years. The Berkshire hog was first discovered by Oliver Cromwell’s army in England. The hog turned out to be distinctive not only for its short black hair, but also for the meat’s superior taste and texture.
The breed was refined in the early 1800s and has remained pure since. The Royal Family kept a herd at Windsor Castle, and British diplomats introduced the Berkshire hog as a gift to Japan. Japanese farmers embraced them as their own and called them Kurobuta - kuro is Japanese for “black,” and buta means “pig.”
