Pork Blade Shoulder

Pork blade shoulder is a cut from the front leg of the pig, taken from the upper arm and blade area. It is a fattier and more sinewy piece of meat, which makes it perfect for long, slow cooking methods such as braising, stewing, or roasting. When prepared properly, the meat becomes tender and falls apart into juicy, flavourful strands. It is widely used for goulash, ragout, pulled pork, and roasted shoulder dishes. Thanks to its higher collagen content, it adds richness and depth to soups and broths. It is also more affordable than hind leg cuts, making it a great choice for everyday cooking.
