Introduction of Berkshire Pork - A Superior Pork for the Discerning...

The major market for Berkshire Pork was not Australia or the United States but Japan, where meat quality is taken very seriously. In Japan, Berkshire Pork is called "Kurobuta" (Black Pork) and is prized as much as Wagyu Beef.

Although the Berkshire's genetic predisposition for flavour is important, the genetics of the Berkshire breed is only one-third of the equation for producing superior tasting pork. Another third is related to the food the pigs eat. Pigs are unusual in that the fat they eat is not broken down by the disgestive process but deposited into the muscle intact. Pigs are, quite literally, what they eat. Feed a pig peanuts and the pork will end up with a peanut flavour. Give them pecans or apples and the meat will have a slightly nutty or fruity flavour. Byron Bay Pork includes Macadamia Nut meal in the pigs specially-formulated diets to ensure a subtle elegance in the flavour of their Berkshire pork. The bulk of the Berkshire pigs' diets is Australian grown non-GMA barley and wheat.
