Description
Boneless Pork Shoulder is a classic slow-cooking cut taken from the shoulder of the pig’s forelimb. It’s also commonly known as picnic shoulder or picnic roast, and it’s loved for its hearty pork flavour and versatility in the kitchen.
This is the kind of cut that shines with gentle cooking. Braise it until tender, cook it low and slow for a juicy roast, or cube it up for rich stews where the flavour builds as it cooks.
Because it’s boneless, it’s easy to portion and suits a wide range of meal styles — from family dinners to weekend cooking projects. It’s also a great pick when you want cooked pork that slices well or pulls apart easily, depending on how you cook it.
