Description

Pork Neck Bone is a relatively inexpensive cut of meat that comes from the neck area of a pig. These bones are dense, layered with meat and contain a significant amount of collagen and marrow. The meat around the neck bone is slightly tough, yet flavorful, which makes it perfect for slow-cooked dishes like soups, stews, or sauces. When cooked slowly, the pork becomes tender while the marrow and collagen imbue the dish with a rich, hearty flavor and silky texture. The bones can also add depth to the broth, making it a favored ingredient in many traditional recipes worldwide. However, preparation may require some extra time due to the necessity of thorough cooking to ensure tenderness and safety.

Grocery Store Location

Pork Neck Bones are usually found in the meat department of the grocery store. They might be packaged separately or mixed in with other cuts of pork. If you cannot find them in the general meat section, check the frozen meat section. If you're still unable to find them, you can ask the butcher or a store associate for help. Some stores may not regularly stock this item, and you can ask if it could be special ordered.
