Pork Cheek

Our pasture-raised Pork Cheeks are a hidden gem of the hog, offering tender meat with incredible richness. Slow cooking brings out their natural flavor, transforming this humble cut into something extraordinary. Raised outdoors on open pasture with non-GMO feed grown on our farm, our pigs develop meat that is full of depth and character. Pork cheeks are perfect for braising, stewing, or shredding into hearty farmhouse dishes.

Cooking Tips

Braise – Sear cheeks in a hot pan, then braise in broth or wine at 300°F for 2½ to 3 hours until tender.
Slow Cooker – Combine with vegetables and stock, then cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the meat falls apart easily.
Stew – Simmer gently on the stovetop in sauce or broth for 2 to 3 hours for deeply flavorful results.
